✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Plaimont's Empreinte Rouge is a profound liquid tribute to the ancient, wind-swept terroirs of the Saint-Mont appellation in South-West France. The name 'Empreinte' (meaning footprint or imprint) signifies the indelible mark left by the Pyrenean terroir and the generations of winegrowers who have preserved these historic slopes. Grown on a complex mosaic of variegated clays and limestone soils, this wine is anchored by the region's powerhouse grape, Tannat, complemented by the rustic charm of Pinenc and the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Historically, these vineyards lined the sacred pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, where medieval monks from the Saint-Mont monastery tended the vines and offered these deeply colored, restorative red wines to weary travelers. Crafted with traditional long macerations and aged carefully to soften its robust structure, the wine beautifully balances intense dark forest fruits, black pepper, and a refined, earthy minerality.
🍾 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.
