✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hillsides of Gascony in South-West France, La Brouette Blanc is a charming testament to the cooperative spirit of Plaimont. The wine's name, meaning 'the wheelbarrow,' pays tribute to the humble, hands-on tools and tireless dedication of the local winegrowers who have tended these vineyards for generations. Crafted primarily from traditional regional varieties like Colombard and Ugni Blanc, this wine benefits from the unique microclimate of the Pyrenean foothills, where warm days are cooled by Atlantic breezes. This temperature diurnal shift preserves the grapes' natural acidity and intense aromatic profile. Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain its pristine fruit character, it offers a bright, refreshing expression of the Gascon terroir, defined by lively citrus, green apple, and white flower notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1979 under the visionary leadership of André Dubosc, Plaimont emerged from the union of passionate winegrowers from Plaisance, Aignan, and Saint-Mont in the heart of Gascony in Southwest France. Today, the cooperative represents a collective dedication to regional heritage, championing the revival and preservation of rare, indigenous grape varieties such as Tannat, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, and Pinenc. Situated across the foothills of the Pyrenees, the estate manages historic vineyards spanning Saint Mont, Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, and Côtes de Gascogne. Plaimont is celebrated for its diverse and authentic portfolio, ranging from crisp, aromatic whites and vibrant rosés like the Fleur d'Artagnan and Saint Mont selections to structured, age-worthy red wines and refined sparkling expressions.
