Pascal Agrapart is uninterested in being labeled as either organic or biodynamic, but he does feel that it’s important to work according to natural rhythms and sensibilities, and both the vineyard work and the work in the cellar follow this philosophy. No chemical pesticides or weedkillers are ever used, and all of the vineyards are worked manually, encouraging the roots to descend deeper.

The family had roots in Spain, as Edmond de Ayala’s great-grandfather, Don Antonio de Ayala y Vergara, was named Chancellor of New Grenada in 1750 by King Ferdinand VI, setting sail for what was to later become Colombia. Edmond de Ayala’s father, Don Rafael de Ayala y Lozano, was a senior officer in the Colombian army and later the General Consul of Colombia in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house was completely destroyed in the Champagne riots of 1911, yet remarkably, it was rebuilt and ready to restart production by 1913. In 1922 it was sold to the Lefebvre family, but the recession beginning in 1929 proved to be catastrophic, and the house was sold in 1934 to the British bank Guinness. It was put up for auction in 1937 and purchased by René Chayoux, the son of an Epernay wine merchant. Chayoux was actively involved in various business affairs in the region, and eventually became co-president of the CIVC from 1944 to 1955. He enlisted Jean-Michel Ducellier, director of the CIVC and a former finance director of Charles Heidsieck, to help him run the house, and upon Chayoux’s death in 1969, Ducellier assumed responsibility for the house until his retirement in 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAyala was sold again in 2000 to the Frey group, and Thierry Budin, a former president of Perrier-Jouët, took over the helm. Five years later, however, Ayala was purchased by the Bollinger Group. Bollinger bought the property and the stocks of wine, but Frey retained the vineyards, forcing the house to rely on purchased grapes. Hervé Augustin was appointed president and general manager of the house, while Nicolas Klym, who had been making wines for the house since 1979, was retained as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003echef de cave\u003c\/em\u003e. Under Augustin, the house reinvented its style, focusing heavily on non-dosé champagnes, as well as increasing its use of chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2012, the direction of the house has been in the hands of Hadrien Mouflard, and Caroline Latrive (pictured) has taken over as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003echef de cave\u003c\/em\u003e, having previously worked alongside Klym since 2006. In addition, Ayala now owns 20 hectares of vines in the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly, Oger) and Vallée de la Marne (Passy-Grigny, Champvoisy), and the house has completed new winery facilities on its property in Aÿ as of 2013.

The indefatigable Godefroy Baijot, who is the Global Export Manager, and talented winemaker Cedric Thiebault lead this maison. The most distinctive asset to this house is that all of their wines are made using low bar pressure. For those of you who may not have come across this, most champagne is made at 6 bar of pressure where as Besserat make it at 4.5 bar. How does this make the wines different?

The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit. Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFriends, lots of friends!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-17T09:51:49+10:00","created_at":"2020-09-17T09:49:34+10:00","vendor":"Billecart-Salmon","type":"Brut","tags":["Brut","Cool fermentation","Edited For You","Family Owned","Grand Cru","Jeroboam 3L","Large Format","Negociant-Manipulant","Over $1000","Over $200","Over $500","Prestige","Prestige Collection","Prestige Cuvee","Rare","Rare Collection","Rare Collections","Rare Cuvee","Region: Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ","Size: Jeroboam","Taste: Almond","Taste: Brioche","Taste: Elegant","Taste: Fresh","Taste: Lemon Zest","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Partial Barrel-fermentation","Taste: Red Apple","Taste: Red Fruits","Taste: Reserve wines","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Texture","Year: NV"],"price":329000,"price_min":329000,"price_max":329000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":33024283410541,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"BILLECART_NEBU","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":15678383521901,"product_id":4799692767341,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-09-17T09:49:35+10:00","updated_at":"2020-09-17T09:49:35+10:00","alt":"Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne.jpg","width":646,"height":1000,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175","variant_ids":[33024283410541]},"available":false,"name":"Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve Nebuchadnezzar (15L) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":329000,"weight":30000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":"Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne.jpg","id":7849538748525,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne.jpg","id":7849538748525,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175"},"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Reserve-Jeroboam-3L-Emperor-Champagne_55016bc6-1d59-408c-b1a9-c95f4177f923.jpg?v=1600300175","width":646}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Meunier dominant champagne followed by Pinot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Iconic \u0026amp; well-respected champagne house\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Add some serious flair to a dinner party with the biggest champagne bottle you can get\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something to be said about this wine that makes it so approachable.
