✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the legendary Charles de Batz de Castelmore, famously known as the musketeer d'Artagnan who was born in Gascony, the Fleur d'Artagnan Blanc captures the spirited, vibrant essence of its historic homeland. Crafted by the Plaimont cooperative, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the Pyrenean foothills in South-West France, where maritime influences meet clay-limestone and sandy soils. The cool night harvests and protective winemaking techniques preserve the intense, zesty aromatics of the local grapes, resulting in a remarkably fresh, crisp white wine that embodies the joyful, epicurean lifestyle of Gascony.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1979 under the visionary leadership of André Dubosc, Plaimont emerged from the union of passionate winegrowers from Plaisance, Aignan, and Saint-Mont in the heart of Gascony in Southwest France. Today, the cooperative represents a collective dedication to regional heritage, championing the revival and preservation of rare, indigenous grape varieties such as Tannat, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, and Pinenc. Situated across the foothills of the Pyrenees, the estate manages historic vineyards spanning Saint Mont, Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, and Côtes de Gascogne. Plaimont is celebrated for its diverse and authentic portfolio, ranging from crisp, aromatic whites and vibrant rosés like the Fleur d'Artagnan and Saint Mont selections to structured, age-worthy red wines and refined sparkling expressions.
