✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched hillsides of Gascony in South-West France, Colombelle Selection Blanc is a vibrant testament to the region's winemaking renaissance led by the Plaimont cooperative. The name 'Colombelle' evokes the 'little dove', a symbol of peace and freedom that perfectly mirrors the wine's light, soaring, and aromatic character. Crafted primarily from Colombard, a grape once relegated to brandy production but beautifully reimagined here, this wine thrives on the region's unique 'boulbènes'—fine sandy soils over clay. Benefiting from the cool night breezes blowing down from the Pyrenees and the tempering influence of the Atlantic Ocean, the grapes retain an explosive, zesty freshness. The winemaking emphasizes cold maceration and protective, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to capture the intense, fleeting aromas of passion fruit, fresh citrus, and white flowers, making it a benchmark of modern Gascon white wines.
🍾 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.
