Aigle Royal Chardonnay AOP Limoux 2022 75cl vin blanc

 

• Issu de la parcelle de Chardonnay (500 m) exposée plein sud faisant face aux montagnes
  
• Le domaine est certifié depuis le millésime 2018 AB ( vin bio ) et DEMETER ( Agriculture biodynamique) .
• La quintessence de la culture d'un cépage noble: Chardonnay sur un terroir unique dans le Languedoc (mélange de climat montagnard et méditerranéen)
• Ses arômes fruités (ananas, pêche de vigne, abricot, amande) et floraux (fleurs blanches), couplés à des notes toastées complexes et subtiles.
• Coup de coeur Le Figaro : "Parcelle iconique au domaine, Aigle Royal a donné son nom au vin biodynamique. Majestueux et complexe dès l'attaque, il se déploie et virevolte avec vivacité, prenant un envol ample jusqu'en finale planant vers l'infini. Un 100% chardonnay au nez d'anis, citronné, salivant, qui fait claquer la langue, l'acidité fusionnant avec la salinité" Valérie Faust 

Ideal companion to shellfish, fish, white meats and cheeses that will reveal all their flavours. It can also be enjoyed as a pure indulgence before and between meals!

The vines receive careful attention and frequent manual interventions (pruning, bud removal, leaf thinning, green harvesting, manual sorting at harvest), following environmentally respectful practices. The vineyard is trained on espalier to generate an optimal leaf surface for grape ripening. The vines are planted at a relatively high density of 5,000 to 6,000 vines/ha, allowing optimal control of vigour. The care given to the vineyard aims to obtain a healthy harvest at moderate yields, drawing out the quintessence of the grapes' qualitative potential. The harvest date is only triggered once the grapes have reached optimal ripeness. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo low-pressure pneumatic pressing as whole clusters upon arrival at the winery. After a light cold static settling, the musts begin their alcoholic fermentation in tanks before being quickly transferred at mid-fermentation into new barrels. Malolactic fermentations are carried out according to the characteristics of the vintage. Barrel ageing lasts 7 to 8 months (until the Spring equinox) with regular lees stirring. After a light fining, the wine is bottled unfiltered. The wine is aged in bottle for several months before release.

Bright and luminous yellow colour. Intense nose, which develops with aeration. Its fruity aromas (pineapple, vineyard peach, apricot, almond) and floral notes (white flowers), coupled with toasty notes in its youth, will delight you with their complexity and subtlety.
