✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Saint-Mont appellation in South-West France, La Madeleine is one of Plaimont's most prestigious red cuvées. This wine is a tribute to the ancient terroir of the region, specifically sourced from select hillside parcels characterized by variegated clay and limestone soils. The name itself pays homage to the local heritage and the historic site of La Madeleine. Crafted predominantly from Tannat alongside local companions Pinenc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine undergoes careful vinification and barrel aging to tame the powerful, rustic tannins of the region's signature grape. The result is a deeply concentrated, complex red that beautifully marries dark berry fruit, black tea, and elegant structure, embodying the soulful, rugged elegance of the Pyrenean foothills.
🍾 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.
