Brut Majeur The identity cuvée

Brut Majeur

When Edmond de AYALA founded the House in 1860, he focussed on crafting a champagne with a distinct and recognisable style, known today as AYALA Brut Majeur. A pure and balanced champagne which showcases the diverse personalities of Champagne’s different Terroirs.

Crafted with a unique diversity of crus from Champagne’s vineyard, this cuvée is a multi-cru and multi-vintage blend with Chardonnay as main grape variety.

To preserve this pure style, the House brings its expertise and meticulous approach to the micro-vinification process, always with a minimum of intervention on wines.

A pure and balanced Champagne

The result of a tailor-made blend, Brut Majeur includes 70 crus coming from the 6 Grands Terroirs of Champagne AYALA : Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Sézannais, Vitryat, Côte des Bar.

In a constant quest for purity and balance, each cru, each grape variety, and each vintage are vinified separately through meticulous micro-vinification in 120 small stainless-steel tanks, allowing the unique aromatic markers of each Terroir to be precisely revealed.

The journey of every wine is carefully tailored to reveal its truest expression. A minimum ageing of three years on the lees enhances this pursuit of harmony, while a low dosage of 6 g/L preserves the wine’s natural balance and original purity.

The quintessential aperitif Champagne

Pure and balanced, AYALA Brut Majeur reflects the richness of Champagne’s diverse Terroirs, offering a broad aromatic palette of citrus fruits, white fruits, and delicate floral notes.

Expressive and precise, this quintessential aperitif Champagne also pairs beautifully with white fish, shellfish, poultry, or a cheese platte, enhancing every tasting moment with freshness and vinosity.
