Gerard Bertrand is one of the most outstanding winemakers in the South of France. A biodynamic pioneer, he owns numerous estates among the most prestigious crus of Languedoc-Roussillon and is formerly the IWC Red Winemaker of the Year and former winner of Wine Enthusiast‘s European Winery of the Year. Domaine de l’Aigle lies under the cliff of Roquetaillade, near Limoux, close to a nesting site for Bonelli’s eagles, a
protected species from which the estate takes its name. The estate covers 31 hectares in the foothills of the Pyrenees, with vines planted between 250 and 500 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest vineyards in the Haute Vallee de l’Aude. The sustainably grown vines thrive in an oceanic climate with continental influences and wide temperature ranges which combine to produce wines with startling freshness and exceptional minerality.

Winery | The Chardonnay vines thrive in climatic conditions similar to those of Burgundy; the vineyard experiences an oceanic climate with continental influences, frequent rainfall, and wide temperature ranges. The vines are planted at a density of between 5,000 to 6,000 vines per hectare, which produce concentrated wines. The vines are trellised using espaliers to ensure optimal sunlight exposure, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly. |
