 Aigle
AOC Les Murailles
Appellation : AIGLE Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée
Variety of Grape : Chasselas
Situation and exposure : Terraced vines with walls reaching
eight meters in height. Exposure to full sun at midday
Type of soil : Gravely, shaly (broken slate), light,
favouring the finesse and distinction of the fruit
Vinification : Soft pressing, severe debourbage. First
and the second fermentation under temperature control. The vinification
in stainless steel tanks makes it possible to extract a maximum of flavours
Tasting Characteristics : A silky texture encloses the
richness of the fruit, dense and gentle on the palate. Remarkable for
its harmony, roundness and intensity, it combines grace, elegance and
softness. Backing onto the foothills of the Alps, this superb vineyard
towers majestically into the sky. The steepness of its terraces seems
to defy the laws of equilibrium, ensuring generous isolation and maximum
drainage. Fœhn winds and warm breezes slide between the vinestocks
right up to the time when the grapes are perfectly ripe: beyond the reach
of the damp air and mists of autumn, the grapes receive maximum protection
from rot. The excellent condition and ripeness of the grape- allied to
yield limitation are the two keys to the quality of Aigle 'Les Murailles'
and its reputation as the supreme wine of Vaud
