✨ Tekniske specifikationer
In the sun-drenched hills of Gascony, in South-West France, the Colombard grape has undergone a remarkable renaissance. Historically prized as a primary component for distilling Armagnac brandy, this indigenous variety was reimagined in the late 20th century as a crisp, highly aromatic still white wine. Plaimont, a pioneer in preserving the ampelographic heritage of the Pyrenean foothills, crafts this Colombard to showcase the grape's vibrant, expressive character. Grown on cool clay-limestone and sandy soils, the vineyards benefit from a microclimate influenced by both the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Pyrenees mountains. This unique terroir preserves the grape's natural high acidity while developing intense aromas of citrus, green apple, and exotic passion fruit. The winemaking emphasizes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel and short aging on fine lees to retain maximum freshness and fruit purity, capturing the joyful, rustic spirit of Gascon gastronomy.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Plaimont blev grundlagt i 1979 under den visionære André Duboscs ledelse, da passionerede vinbønder fra Plaisance, Aignan og Saint-Mont i hjertet af Gascogne i det sydvestlige Frankrig forenede deres kræfter. I dag er kooperativet et fyrtårn for den regionale kulturarv med et særligt fokus på at genoplive og bevare sjældne, oprindelige druesorter som Tannat, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng og Pinenc. Vinmarkerne breder sig over Pyrenæernes forbjerge og dækker historiske parceller i Saint Mont, Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh og Côtes de Gascogne. Plaimont er anerkendt for sit alsidige og autentiske sortiment, som spænder fra sprøde, aromatiske hvidvine og livlige rosévine – herunder Fleur d'Artagnan og Saint Mont-serierne – til strukturerede, lagringsværdige rødvine og raffinerede mousserende cuvéer.
