Champagne Ayala, established in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala, has a rich history steeped in the tradition of champagne production. The house was one of the original eighteen founding members of the prestigious “Grandes Marques de Champagne” syndicate, an acknowledgment of its prominence in the industry. This bottling of Blanc de Blancs 2016 is a vintage expression with all the grapes harvested in 2016. The Blanc de Blancs 2016 is a pure expression of Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from the best Crus of the Côte des Blancs. In the glass, the champagne presents a pale gold color with a shimmering curtain of tiny, lively bubbles, a testament to its time-honored method of production and extended maturation. The 2016 vintage was a year that provided excellent conditions for Chardonnay, allowing the fruit to reach optimal ripeness, which is reflected in the wine’s balance and aromatic richness.
Champagne Ayala remains a symbol of boutique craftsmanship, known for its freshness, elegance, and precision, continuing to produce exquisite champagnes with a dedication to quality that has been unwavering since its inception.
