The estate covers some 47 hectares, with vines planted between 250 and 500 meters above sealevel, making it one of the highest vineyards in the Haute Vallée de l’Aude, and indeed the Languedoc.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines thrive in climatic conditions similar to those of Burgundy, where the grape originated; anoceanic climate with continental influences, frequent rain fall and a wide temperature range. The Domaine de l’Aigle estate produces Languedoc-Roussillon wines with a surprising freshness and an exceptional minerality. The estate began its conversion to biodynamic methods in 2014.
