In 1855, Edmond de Ayala was guided to Champagne by a true passion for wine.

 

He then met Gabrielle d’Albrecht and decided to settle in Aÿ in 1858 and to establish Champagne Ayala in 1860.

                                       
       

PASSION

Shortly after, in 1911, winegrowers decided to protest and organise a riot.

Phylloxera had badly damaged the vineyards and the 1910 harvest was very poor

and winegrowers could not stand the fact that the government was taking so much time to delimit the Champagne region,

Epernay was very well protected, so they decide to head towards Aÿ, the village nearby.

On April 12th, they burned down the House of Ayala which unfortunately happened to be located on their way.

Today, a real passion for Champagne, a taste for perfection and a permanent quest for finesse remain the strong values of the team working at Ayala.
