Situated in the heart of South-West France, the Plaimont vineyards stretch from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the hills and valleys of Gascony covering a uniquely rich terroir. A thousand winegrowers defend the ideals of a cooperative and are committed to managing their vineyards with respect for both the environment and their own time-honoured traditions. With a combination of local grape varieties, knowledge and rigorous hard work, the members of Plaimont have succeeded in producing extremely high quality wines from the terroirs of Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, Saint Mont and Côtes de Gascogne.
Jancisrobinson.com, 2025, 15.5 points: "Plaimont are aiming to rewrite the books on Tannat with this wine, making it fruity, more approachable, more for the younger generation. And they've really done a great job. It tastes of fresh mulberries, still has Madiran's rustic, gamey, small-black-olives bitterness and slightly rusty minerality but the tannins are so much more supplicant to the fruit than is typical for Madiran. It's great fun and also very affordable. Pair with pepperoni pizza! (TC)" Decanter World Wine Awards, 2025 - Best Value Award, 95 points. Will Lyons, The Times, July 2025, 'Six of the best wines to go with a barbecue': "Here the tannat grape yields a smooth, easy-drinking red with ripe plum and a velvety texture.”
