Description of the wine
- From the highest Pinot Noir plot on the estate (503 m) facing due south, facing the snow-capped mountains of the Pyrenees
- The quintessence of the cultivation of a noble grape variety: Pinot Noir on a unique terroir in Languedoc (mixture of mountain and Mediterranean climate)
- Soft, fruity and finely spiced. The Royal Eagle offers fine and silky tannins and develops a very great length.
- Since the 2018 vintage, the estate has been AB ( organic wine ) and DEMETER (biodynamic agriculture) certified.

Vinification and aging
The grapes are harvested manually in crates and vatted, after destemming, by gravity. Vatting (fermentation and maceration) for 20 days in open vats with punching down twice a day at the start of vatting. After pressing and separation of the presses, the free-run juices are transferred to new French oak barrels for aging for 10 to 12 months. The wine is drawn off from the barrels and kept in vats for 1 month to obtain natural clarification. It is bottled without filtration.
