Cigalus white 2023 :

The Cigalus estate benefits from a warm and sunny Mediterranean climate ("semi-arid type with temperate spring variant"), allowing for advanced ripening of all grape varieties. The estate is cultivated using biodynamic methods.

Golden yellow color, bright and clear. Intense and complex nose of ripe citrus fruits (grapefruit), white peach, honey, dried fruit with a toasted note. Full and silky mouth, ripe, ample with notes of vanilla, toast, butter and exotic fruits. Beautiful length in the mouth.

Domaine de l’aigle Chardonnay 2022 :

Domaine de l'Aigle is located near the village of Roquetaillade, near Limoux, at the foot of the Pyrenees. The estate covers some 47 hectares, with vines planted at altitudes of between 250 and 500 metres, making it one of the highest vineyards in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, if not in the Languedoc. The Chardonnay vines thrive in climatic conditions similar to those of Burgundy, where the grape originates; an oceanic climate with continental influences, frequent rainfall and a wide range of temperatures. Domaine de l'Aigle produces Languedoc-Roussillon wines of surprising freshness and exceptional minerality. The estate began its conversion to biodynamic methods in 2014

Tasting Notes:

A golden green color with silvery gray highlights. Expressive nose with fruity notes of white peach, opening with notes of almond paste and pastry. The palate is fresh, mineral, light and supple with a minty finish.

Château l'Hospitalet great white wine 2022 :

On the edge of the coast, the Château de l'Hospitalet overlooks the Mediterranean by a hundred meters. Benefiting from a semi-arid Mediterranean climate, with a mild winter variant, the vineyard has exceptional climatic conditions: both in terms of the duration of sunshine, the quantities of heat stored during the day by the limestone and returned to the grapes at night, and the effect of the Mediterranean Sea which moderates the temperature differences and the altitude which alleviates the summer heat. Two types of soil contribute to the aromatic complexity, finesse and elegance of this vintage: the marl-limestone soils of the Gargasian, at the foot of the cliff, rich in fossils, provide the vines with a supply of water throughout the summer despite the absence of summer rain; and the red Mediterranean soils of the Barremian formed on the compact blue-grey limestone conquered from the scrubland, allow the production of rich and concentrated wines. The grapes come from sustainable agriculture, in compliance with the Demeter biodynamic approach.

Tasting Notes:

Golden color, pale yellow. The nose is powerful and fresh with aromas of citrus fruits, white-fleshed fruits such as pear and quince, scents of garrigue and anise, with notes of toasted hazelnuts. The palate is very fine and has a beautiful minerality, with iodized notes with touches of white pepper and flint. Lots of freshness in the finish with notes of acacia honey.
