Producteurs Plaimont

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.

Dark coloured with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis and dried plums and in the background liquorice, black pepper and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, the attack is fresh, the tannins are very discreet and the mouthfeel is balanced. A powerful wine but with a velvety texture it is long and intense.
This is a real meal wine, with beef, stews, and hearty vegetarian dishes with earthy tones
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, ensuring vibrant aromatics and balance. A gentle maceration in vats over several days allows for the delicate extraction of fresh berry aromas. After 48 to 72 hours of infusion, the free-run juice is separated to complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vats. The wine is then aged for 12 months, primarily in vats, with 20% matured in large oak tuns to gently refine the tannins and enhance structure.
