<p>The Champagne Ayala "Brut Nature" is an important wine of the Maison Ayala. <strong>A centuries-old estate</strong>, it was born and extends for about eighty hectares in the countryside of Aÿ in Champagne, the beating heart of wine production beyond the Alps. The temperate oceanic climate, with hot summers and mild winters, as well as the predominantly calcareous soil, allow the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vines to thrive like nowhere else in the world. These grape varieties are the ones which characterize the entire area and which therefore also contribute to the creation of Ayala Champagnes. Champagne Ayala "Brut Nature", in particular, is made with <em>40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Method:</strong> The wine follows the classic <em>sparkling process</em> of the <strong>Champenoise</strong> Method and, before being ready for the final <em>bottling</em> , spends a good 48 months refining in the cellar on first choice yeasts which integrate and complete the <em>aging</em> of this extraordinary wine, making it complex and balanced. The end result is a pure, clean, decisive, very dry champagne, which does not make discounts, but also for this reason it is extremely fine and elegant, with a very delicate perlage, an almost silky bubble, not at all aggressive; the term Nature highlights the fact that no sugar dosage occurs (as normally occurs for the other versions, i.e. Brut, Extra Brut, Dry, etc.).</li>
<li><strong>Features:</strong> Brilliant gold with light silvery reflections and fine and persistent perlage. The <em>olfactory</em> is marked by clear citrus sensations that are combined with a pleasant savory component. Complex and clean on the palate, with flavors of grapefruit and white pulp fruit. Long and mineral on the finish.</li>
<li><strong>Pairings:</strong> It is excellent to be sipped during an aperitif, even on refined and formal occasions. He is natural and straightforward, sincere in all his purity and liveliness. It goes very well with raw fish and shellfish, but at the same time it can be combined with soft cheeses, such as Brie.</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 brand identity is completely rethought, with the creation of d the 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>
