✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1979 under the visionary leadership of André Dubosc, Plaimont is a pioneering cooperative union located in Saint-Mont within the Gers department of South-West France. By uniting the historic cellars of Plaisance, Aignan, and Saint-Mont, the producer has become a champion for reviving and safeguarding the indigenous heritage grape varieties of the Pyrenean foothills, such as Tannat, Pinenc, Gros Manseng, and Arrufiac. Plaimont is globally renowned for its commitment to ampelographic preservation, famously tending to a historic, pre-phylloxera vineyard parcel that is classified as an official French historic monument. Their diverse portfolio spans expressive, fresh whites, robust reds, and vibrant rosés, exemplified by the Fleur d'Artagnan range and the celebrated late-harvest Saint Albert and Saint Sylvestre wines.
