✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the sun-drenched hillsides of the Gascony region in South-West France, Les Trois Fontaines is a vibrant white wine crafted by the renowned Plaimont cooperative. The name 'Les Trois Fontaines' (The Three Fountains) pays homage to the natural, cool springs that dot the lush Gascon landscape, symbolizing the purity and refreshing character of this cuvée. Grown on typical clay-sandy soils that define the Côtes de Gascogne, the grapes benefit from warm days and cool nights influenced by both the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean. This microclimate preserves the intense, zesty aromatics of the local grape varieties. Vinified at low temperatures in stainless steel to lock in the vibrant fruit profile, this wine represents the classic, joyful, and easy-drinking style of South-West France's white wines, showcasing Plaimont's dedication to regional heritage.
🍾 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.
