Champagne from Ayala & Bollinger

Today’s offer features two notable and historic Champagne houses from the village of Aÿ.

Under the same ownership since 2005, Bollinger and Ayala in fact have been linked since World War I. When the Germans invaded Champagne, the Ayala family escaped to the UK and asked their neighbours, the Bollinger family to keep them posted while German soldiers occupied their château. In 2005, the Bollinger family purchased the Ayala estate and today it has been revitalized to its former glory, with the defining dry racy style that focuses on Chardonnay and stainless steel fermentation – a style that couldn’t be more different from Bollinger’s higher percentage of Pinot Noir and neutral oak barrel fermentation.

About CHAMPAGNE AYALA

CHAMPAGNE AYALA

Champagne AYALA is one of the longest-established champagne Houses; it has been based in Aÿ, since it was founded over 150 years ago. It has always been a small, independent and family-run business. In 2005 the Bollinger family bought this fine estate, with the intention of restoring it to its former glory. This was the start of a resurgence for Champagne AYALA, with complete restoration of winemaking facilities and the arrival of new staff.

About CHAMPAGNE BOLLINGER

CHAMPAGNE BOLLINGER

Bollinger is a truly classic Champagne house and one of the world’s greatest wine producers, renowned for its elegance and refinement. Founded in 1829 in the village of Ay, by 1884 Bollinger received a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria. Adding to its prestige, 1979 marked the beginning of one of the longest standing relationships in cinematic history; Bollinger has been the exclusive Champagne of James Bond ever since.

Decanter, July 2023


The fourth edition of Bollinger's limited PN series is the most expressive yet, with a hugely satisfying, expansive character. Dried pear, stewed Bramley apple and nectarine melt into the depths of reserve wine complexity, with chestnut honey and perfectly pitched savoury interest. It's surprisingly silky, the texture surprisingly weightless, the shape rounded and cushioned rather than strict or driving. A highly rewarding Champagne, ready to drink but with interesting potential to evolve over the next five years. 100% Pinot Noir, predominantly from Aÿ, with support from the villages of Tauxières and Verzenay. Based on the 2018 vintage, with 50% reserve wines back to 2009.

Decanter, February 2023


If it’s good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for you. Bollinger Champagne has made a number of cameos in James Bond films over the year. This non-vintage Special Cuvée is an example of a classic Champagne done well. Notes of marzipan on the nose and the palate give toastiness and leesy notes, specifically sourdough. It’s classic for a reason and would only elevate any table it finds itself on.
