Champagne Brut Majeur Ayala
<p>The Champagne Brut "Majeur" is a product of the prestigious Ayala maison. This Maison is undoubtedly characterized by a long and troubled history; today it is owned by Bollinger who has meant that, following innumerable historical vicissitudes, it could regain its initial splendor; it is no coincidence that it is one of the very few Maisons able to cover its needs using only grapes produced in its own vineyards! Champagne Brut Majeur undoubtedly owes its greatness to the peculiar <strong>assemblage</strong> in which the character of the <em>Pinot Noir</em> and the generosity of <em>Chardonnay</em> are combined with <em>Pinot Meunier</em> which is able to harmonize everything making it extremely pleasant to drink.</p>

<li><strong>Method:</strong> After harvesting, fermentation and making the sparkling wine, the champagne is aged for over 30 months on its lees. It is precisely this step that makes this wine elegant, fine, lively and snappy, with fresh and fruity notes that never break a delicate balance. The finish is decisive and surprisingly long.</li>
<li><strong>Characteristics:</strong> The Brut Majeur of the Maison Ayala is an elegant and refined champagne that offers a delicate fruity touch. It is a cuvée with fine bubbles and a beautiful golden colour. On the nose, we discover notes of yellow fruits and a sour touch. In the mouth, the Brut Majeur signed Ayala offers an attack full of lightness. The champagne is precise, expertly dosed, without acidity, but with a slight minerality that gives it an ethereal aspect.</li>

<h3>Maison Ayala</h3>
<p>The history of the Maison is singular, and it is above all that of a visionary spirit, with a melodious name that came from afar. A name that seems created on purpose, by pure chance, for the town of Aÿ, the seat of AYALA since its creation. Curious and audacious, Edmond de AYALA has always known how to cultivate a taste for going further. Maison AYALA is animated by the spirit of excellence and adventure inspired by its founder. Pioneer in the introduction of a drier style, thanks to his intuition he launched the "dry champagne" in 1865 with a dosage of only 21 g / l. A bold choice in favor of purity, in contrast to the traditional French dosage of the time of over 150 g/l. Since its creation, the young Maison has been an essential point of reference: it is among the founding members of the Syndicat des Grandes Marques in 1882, the current Union Des Maisons de Champagne. After France, the Maison continues its expansion in England thanks to Fernand, Edmond's younger brother, which allows the brand to achieve lasting notoriety, until it obtains the Royal Warrant in 1908 after the coronation of King Edward VII. In the 1920s the Maison experienced a golden age with a production of one million bottles, which places it among the great Maisons of the time. After the war, the Maison was led by two great men of Champagne, René Chayoux and Jean-Michel Ducellier, who worked for the interprofessional committee and contributed to the development of the Appellation. To restore the status to Sleeping Beauty of Aÿ she deserves, the construction of a new cellar in 2007 allows the Maison to have a modern winemaking tool at its disposal, worthy of the qualitative ambitions of Champagne AYALA. The return of the Maison to the international scene begins with success. Since 2006, Caroline Latrive begins to immerse herself in the savoir-faire of AYALA alongside Nicolas Klym, whom she succeeds as Chef de Cave of the Maison in 2012. At the same time, Hadrien Mouflard is appointed General Manager, with the mission of accelerating the development of AYALA in France and abroad. The style of the wines asserts itself with the Chardonnay vine as the protagonist. The identity of the brand is completely rethought, with the creation of new labels inspired by the historical codes of the Maison. A contemporary, graphic and chiseled aesthetic style, just like the new accommodation and tasting facility.</p>
