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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1979 under the visionary leadership of André Dubosc, Plaimont is a pioneering cooperative union located in Saint-Mont within the Gers department of South-West France. By uniting the historic cellars of Plaisance, Aignan, and Saint-Mont, the producer has become a champion for reviving and safeguarding the indigenous heritage grape varieties of the Pyrenean foothills, such as Tannat, Pinenc, Gros Manseng, and Arrufiac. Plaimont is globally renowned for its commitment to ampelographic preservation, famously tending to a historic, pre-phylloxera vineyard parcel that is classified as an official French historic monument. Their diverse portfolio spans expressive, fresh whites, robust reds, and vibrant rosés, exemplified by the Fleur d'Artagnan range and the celebrated late-harvest Saint Albert and Saint Sylvestre wines.
