Champagne AYALACommitted House

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 human-sized team upholds values of independence, humility, and sincerity. The House cultivates an authentic spirit, where tradition, transmission, and artisanal carftsmanship are expressed daily.

In 2025, it reaches a major milestone with the cellaring of a bottle whose environmental footprint is reduced by more than 60%, during the tirage of AYALA Le Blanc de Blancs. Lighter and made from partially recycled glass, it reflects a commitment to responsible innovation.

This commitment is also reflected in an ambitious energy renovation plan for the historic production site in Aÿ-Champagne, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2030, as well as in 100% recyclable packaging made from certified raw materials and local production.

From vineyards transitioning to organic viticulture to annually monitored CSR initiatives, Champagne AYALA pursues a comprehensive approach aimed at a positive and sustainable impact, from vine to bottle.
