Domaine de l'Aigle à Deux Têtes Poulsard 'Les Clous'
Country: France
Region: Jura
Grapes: Poulsard
Vintage: 2022
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.
From the vineyard that looks over the village of Vincelles (recently renamed Val-Sonnette but the locals still call it Vincelles). A unique expression of Poulsard, lots of juicy red fruit, aromas of rhubarb as it opens up. Super clean, does not need aggressive decanting like some other Poulsard/Ploussard wines.
