✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Chemin des Pèlerins' (Path of the Pilgrims) pays homage to the historic Saint James' Way pilgrimage route, which has traversed the rolling hills and vineyards of Gascony for centuries. Crafted by the Plaimont cooperative, this rosé captures the vibrant, sun-drenched spirit of the South-West terroir, where maritime influences from the Atlantic meet the cool air of the Pyrenees. The wine is crafted using gentle direct pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the bright, expressive red fruit aromas and crisp freshness that define the region's signature style, echoing the historic hospitality offered to weary travelers along the ancient path.
🍾 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.
