Domaine de lâAigle is located close to the village of Roquetaillade, near Limoux in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The estate covers some 47 hectares, with vines planted between 250 and 500 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest vineyards in the Haute Vallée de lâAude, and indeed the Languedoc. Chardonnay vines thrive in climatic conditions similar to those of Burgundy, where the grape originated; an oceanic climate with continental influences, frequent rain fall and a wide temperature range. The Domaine de lâAigle estate produces Languedoc-Roussillon wines with a surprising freshness and an exceptional minerality. The estate began its conversion to biodynamic methods in 2014.

The Domaine de l'Aigle is located at the foot of the Roquetaillade cliff, where Bonelli's eagles nest, a protected species that gave its name to the estate. It occupies the top of the Limoux terroir, whose cool Pyrenean foothills climate made it possible to produce the first sparkling wines in France as early as 1531 at the Saint-Hilaire Abbey. Champenois and Burgundians have taken an interest in this part of the Languedoc where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reach their perfect maturity without losing their freshness. The Domaine de l'Aigle was born out of this ambition to plant the grape varieties of the northern vineyards on this exceptionally cool terroir of the Languedoc to explore their quality potential. Grard Bertrand acquired the estate's 40 hectares in 2007 with the aim of creating the best Pinots Noirs and Chardonnays. Since 2015 we have also been producing a top level Gewrztraminer. The estate is cultivated in biodynamic agriculture certified Demeter since the 2018 vintage.

Vinification Details
The juice is immediately extracted by a delicate pneumatic pressing, guaranteeing the superior quality of the must. The must is cooled and left to settle before the alcoholic fermentation. The wine is left to mature over fine lees, and a certain proportion is transferred into oak barrels for a full malolactic fermentation.
