✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Le Faîte Blanc is the crowning achievement of the Saint-Mont appellation, representing a living tribute to the ancestral traditions of Gascony. The name itself, meaning 'the summit' or 'the ridgepole,' reflects its status as Plaimont's flagship cuvée. In a unique nod to history, the final blend of Le Faîte is decided annually by a select jury of world-class sommeliers and wine writers, ensuring each vintage is a bespoke masterpiece. This wine revives the historic practice of local winemakers who buried their most precious bottles under clay in the cellar to hide and preserve them, a custom celebrated by the bottle's distinctive wooden label and hand-applied wax seal. Grown on the cool, clay-limestone slopes of the Pyrenean foothills, the grapes undergo traditional vinification with fine lees contact, resulting in a white wine of exceptional texture, mineral tension, and aromatic complexity.
🍾 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.
