Presentation
Presentation
The grapes come from vines with an average age of 35 years. They are harvested at the end of September due to the vineyard's location at the far west of the Cahors appellation, which often allows for early harvests. The yield is limited by green harvesting to 45 hectoliters per hectare.
Terroir
The 7 hectares of Château Les Hauts d’Aglan are ideally located on the highest terraces of the right bank of the Lot, which gives it an ideal south-facing exposure. The vineyards grow on clay-limestone soils.

Advice
Food pairings
Structured, full-bodied, with complex fruit aromas, these wines pair well with local cuisine such as: farm-raised lamb, duck breast, cassoulet, stuffed cabbage, and also with more exotic spicy dishes. They go perfectly with cep mushrooms, walnuts, and chestnuts. They will finish meals with a Cantal or a Comté cheese after a few years in the cellar.
