The Brut “Majeur” by Ayala is a cuvée made with grapes from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier coming from vineyards cultivated in over 70 crus located in different areas of the Champagne region: Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Aube, Vitry, and Côte de Sézanne. Each individual parcel is vinified separately, in order to have the maximum possibility of choice at the time of forming the final cuvée. After soft pressing, the must is sent for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. At the end of a few months of aging, the vins clairs are blended for the tirage. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with a stay on the lees in the Maison's cellars for at least 36 months.
