Henri Le Roy is a former biologist who in 2005 moved to Jura to start l’Aigle à Deux Têtes (Two- headed Eagle). He farms around 5 hectares of vines in the Vincelles area of the Jura. This is the next village up from Rotalier (home to Ganevat and Labet). Henri's vines are farmed without synthetic chemicals (but are not certified), he makes wines in the topped up (Ouille) style with no additions apart from SO2 at bottling. These wines have great tension and depth and can be found in some of the great restaurants of the world.
The Les Clous Naturé is the astonishing Savagnin from Henri's vineyard that looks over the village of Val-Sonnette. This reminds us of the top wines of Ganevat and has the distinct curry leaf and spice along with deep aromas of preserved lemons and lime cordial.
