Château Les Hauts d'Aglan
Wine Spectator 90/100 · Wine Enthusiast 86/100
Château Les Hauts d'Aglan sits in South West France, a region defined by its distinctive dark wines and indigenous grape varieties. The winery's Cahors, built from Malbec, reflects the appellation's character: structured, deep, and built for aging. Malbec thrives in this corner of France, where the grape develops its signature dark fruit intensity and firm tannin backbone. The wine has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. South West France remains less visible than Bordeaux or Burgundy, yet its terroirs and varietals—particularly Malbec—command serious consideration among those seeking alternative expressions of French wine.
