Ayala

The House dates back to 1860 when Edmond de Ayala was given the Château de Aÿ and some prime vineyards as a dowry for his wedding. It developed rapidly, especially in England thanks to Edmond’s brother who was based in London to the extent that it received the Royal Warrant from Edward VII in 1908, and also supplied the Spanish court as Edmond was descended from Spanish aristocracy. In 1882 Ayala was one of the 18 founder members of the Syndicate of Grandes Marques. More recently, it was purchased by Champagne Bollinger in 2005 who have invested heavily in the house. Grapes are sourced from grand cru and premier cru vineyards, with the emphasis on grand cru Pinot Noir.

An excellent Champagne and great value. This quality minded Champagne house was bought by Bollinger in 2005. It has a wonderfully fine mousse, is well balanced, has finesse and complexity. A great apéritif, it works well with seafood. More »
