Champagne Ayala Brut Nature

Champagne

September 30, 2026 - Ayala’s Brut Nature is a zero-dosage Champagne that is aged for nearly four years. It reveals elegant complexity, with extended autolysis highlighting the exceptional quality of grapes from Champagne’s best crus.

On the palate, it is clean and complex, offering dry mineral flavors and vibrant grapefruit and white fruit, all while maintaining freshness and tension.
