The Domaine de L'Aigle vineyards are situated at an altitude of 300 to 500 meters in the western part of the Languedoc region. This cooler microclimate, combined with the chalky and clay-rich soils, allows the grapes to ripen slowly. As a result, the wine retains its fresh acidity and develops refined aromas atypical of the South of France.
The grapes are harvested at night to prevent oxidation and pressed immediately. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in barrels made partly of stainless steel and partly of French oak. Some of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on the lees for several months, which contributes to its complexity, creaminess, and length.
100% Chardonnay, sourced from organically certified vineyards within the estate.
Ideal with grilled sea bass, lobster, creamy pasta, or poultry. Serve at 10 to 12 degrees Celsius for an optimal balance of wood, fruit, and freshness.
