The only French Champagne house with Latin roots, AYALA was established in 1860 by Edmond de AYALA and has been owned by Bollinger since 2005. AYALA was one of the elite founding members of the "Ivy League" of the top champagne houses, the Syndicat des Grandes Marques de Champagne back in 1882. Elected "Winery of the Year 2008" by Champagne expert Ed McCarthy, AYALA is referred to as "The Purest Champagne" ( www.thepurestchampagne.com ) because it is the market leader in haute couture, zero dosage (no added sugar) champagne.
