✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Monastère cuvée is a historic flagship of the Saint-Mont appellation, deeply rooted in the monastic heritage of South-West France. Its story begins in 1050 with the foundation of the Benedictine Monastery of Saint-Mont, where monks painstakingly cultivated vines on the steep, clay-limestone slopes overlooking the Adour valley. Today, Plaimont has meticulously restored these ancient monastic vineyards. Crafted primarily from Tannat alongside indigenous Pinenc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine undergoes traditional vinification and extensive aging in French oak barrels. The result is a powerful, deeply concentrated red that pays homage to centuries of viticultural devotion, characterized by intense black fruit, refined yet robust tannins, and a distinctive mineral undertone derived from the unique terroir.
🍾 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.
