Ayala : Rose Majeur

A fruity and delicate Rosé Champagne

The estate

In 1855, Edmond de Ayala traveled to Champagne and in 1860, together with his wife, founded the Champagne Ayala House. Remaining a family business, Maison Ayala has always placed passion and quality at the heart of its ambitions, with the goal of crafting pure, elegant, and refined champagnes. Ayala’s cuvées are naturally enjoyed, with no added dosage. Ayala was the official supplier to the Crown of England. In 2005, Ayala was acquired by the family-owned company Jacques Bollinger.
