The Brut Nature designation refers to the sweetness of a champagne or wine. In this case, no extra sugar was added during the Ayala Brut Nature production process. This means the residual sugar content is virtually zero. This is characteristic of Ayala Champagne, as the recipe has been continually adapted since its founding in 1860, becoming increasingly dry. This is because Ayala Champagne was a purveyor to the English Royal Court. King Edward II, among others, found the champagne too sweet. Today, the residual sugar content of all Ayala Champagnes is among the lowest in the champagne industry. This ensures elegance and refinement prevail.
