Honour the Essence is the mission carried out by Maison AYALA, from the finest expression of Champagne’s Terroirs to the importance of sharing moments together.
Committed House from vine to glass, from earth to mouth, Champagne AYALA shifts the boundaries of a conscious art-of-living, making it more vibrant.
Maison AYALA Committed in the vineyard
As an owner of 22-hectares of vineyard across iconic villages such as Aÿ, Dizy, Chouilly, Oger, Champvoisy, Passy-Grigny, Grauves, and Vertus, Champagne AYALA is fully committed to a sustainable future. 7 hectares are already certified for High Environmental Value (HVE) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC), and the House is taking a new step: its entire vineyard is currently converting to organic farming, with official certification expected by 2025. This initiative reflects AYALA’s deep dedication to preserving its living heritage in alignment with current and future environmental challenges.
Beyond its own vineyard, Champagne AYALA collaborates with nearly 100 winegrowing families across 120 hectares, united by a shared commitment to quality, respect for life, and terroirs preservation.
In this forward-thinking approach, the House launched the “Atelier Vignoble” in 2024 – an ambitious initiative to bring together skills and savoir-faire around more sustainable viticulture. The Atelier Vignoble enhances understanding of Champagne’s terroirs and supports partner winegrowers in adapting to the challenges of climate change and modern farming practices.
With its organic conversion and the Atelier Vignoble initiative, Champagne AYALA reaffirms its role as a committed House, guided by a forward-thinking vision that places responsibility, heritage, and excellence at the heart of its actions for generations to come.
Maison AYALA Committed at the estate
At Champagne AYALA, a young and dynamic team, embodies values of independence, humility, and sincerity. The House fosters an authentic work environment where tradition and conviviality blend with a deep respect of artisanal craftsmanship and expertise.
AYALA’s eco-conscious approach extends to its materials: all packaging is 100% recyclable, made from certified raw materials sourced from local suppliers within a 350 km radius of the estate. This not only reduces environmental impact but also supports the regional economy.
As part of its sustainable transformation, Champagne AYALA has launched an energy renovation project for its historic site in Aÿ, aiming to optimize its facilities and reduce its environmental footprint by 2027.
From the vineyard’s organic conversion to annually monitored CSR initiatives, everything at AYALA is crafted on-site with a long-term vision—to make a positive impact on both nature and people, for the benefit of future generations.
Maison AYALA Committed around the world

United by a shared vision: they are reinventing gastronomy through sustainable and responsible practices.
Beyond these collaborations, Champagne AYALA also supports cultural events and engaged artists who champion social and environmental responsibility.
Through these meaninful collaborations, Champagne AYALA strengthens its commitment – shining a light on those shaping a better future, guided by the House’s core values: sustainability, sincerity, and generosity.
