Isabelle Rey-Auriat took over the 14-hectare family estate in 1994, the fifth generation to tend to the vines.

TERROIR

The vineyards of Château Les Hauts d’Aglan sits in Southwest France between the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Pyrenees.

With a southern exposure on the highest terraces of the far west of the Cahors appellation, the vineyards enjoy a unique terroir. 

VITICULTURE

Certified organic, biodynamic & vegan

WINEMAKING

Winemaking and Vinification The grapes come from vines of an average age of 30 years.
They are harvested at the end of September or beginning of October due to their locaton at the far west of Cahors appellation area which more often than not allows an early harvest.
15 days of fermentation with two "delestages“ per day, involving racking the wine to remove harsh tannins and then returning it to the vat where the juice is then pumped over the cap. Eight days of maceration, and then malolactic fermentation for 18 months while maturing in concrete vats.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

A deep dark red color, with an expressive nose of ripe red fruit and a mouth with spicy aromas. Give the wine some time to breath after opening. Best served with duck confit, tournedos rossini or mature cheeses.
