Winemaker Notes

Ruby red colour with light copper highlights. Nose dominated by aromas of small berries (raspberry, red currant) very intense with some toasted notes. Tender, fruity, and finely spicy on the palate. Fine and silky tannins, exceptional structure. Long and fruity finish.

    The floral-earthy perfumed 2018 IGP Haute Vallée de l'Aude Domaine de l'Aigle Pinot Noir comes from vineyards planted at around 450 meters above sea level. Hints of toasty oak play a supporting role to the cherry and raspberry fruit, while intricate herbal complexities wind in and out. With a soft, ripe mouthfeel and gentle tannins, it delivers early drinkability and true Pinot Noir character at a reasonable price for the quality. Certified organic and biodynamic.

    Bountiful raspberry and plum flavors and good balance make this medium-bodied wine hard to resist. Redfruit flavors are rich and well concentrated, backed by light notes of acacia and vanilla that emerge on the finish and add complexity.

Domaine de l'Aigle, France
Domaine de l'Aigle  Winery Image

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. Gérard Bertrand acquired the estate and its thirty-one hectares in 2007 with the desire to carry out a real quest for excellence. The grapes come from sustainable agriculture, in accordance with the Terra Vitis approach, which guarantees the traceability of cultivation practices verified by an independent body.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

While Limoux also produces both white and red wines, it is ultimately recognized as a sparkling wine zone. Blanquette de Limoux is the region’s original sparkler, which is based on Mauzac with small amounts of Chardonnay and/or Chenin Blanc. The more rustic and traditional version, Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale, is an often cloudy and sweeter sparkling wine made exclusively from Mauzac.

In the 1990s, the region created the more modern, Crémant de Limoux, for international markets.
