✨ Tekniske specifikationer
While the Colombelle name is globally celebrated for pioneering the fresh white wine revolution of the Côtes de Gascogne, the Colombelle Original Rouge represents its equally vibrant red counterpart. Crafted by the visionary Plaimont cooperative, this wine captures the sunny, maritime-influenced terroir of South-West France. It marries the structure of Tannat—the region's legendary, deeply colored signature grape—with the supple, fleshy fruitiness of Merlot. Historically, these lands were traversed by d'Artagnan and the King's Musketeers, and this red wine channels that rustic, lively Gascon spirit. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright primary fruit aromas, it offers a delightful, unpretentious expression of the Gascony countryside, characterized by juicy red berries, subtle spice, and smooth tannins.
🍾 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.
