✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the legendary musketeer d'Artagnan, who was born in the heart of Gascony, the Fleur d'Artagnan Rosé captures the spirited, vibrant essence of Southwest France. Crafted by the Plaimont cooperative, this rosé is born from the rolling hills of the Côtes de Gascogne, where warm days are tempered by cool ocean breezes from the Atlantic and cold winds from the Pyrenees. This unique microclimate, combined with clay-limestone and sandy soils, preserves the grapes' natural acidity and intense aromatic profile. The wine is produced using gentle direct pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to retain its bright, fresh character, resulting in a pale, luminous rosé that sings of wild strawberries, redcurrants, and citrus blossoms.
🍾 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.
