✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Plaimont's Moonseng is a remarkable testament to ampelographic resurrection and modern viticultural ingenuity. At its heart is Manseng Noir, an ancient, indigenous grape of the Pyrenean foothills that had virtually vanished from the French winemaking landscape. Discovered surviving in historic, pre-phylloxera family plots, this rare variety was painstakingly revived by Plaimont's ampelographers. When blended with the round, plush fruitiness of Merlot, Manseng Noir contributes a vibrant acidity, rustic spicy undertones, and a naturally moderate alcohol level. The name Moonseng playfully nods to this unique grape heritage. Grown on the clay-limestone hillsides of the Gascony region, the grapes undergo traditional vinification designed to emphasize fresh red fruit, soft tannins, and an approachable, crunchy texture that offers a refreshing alternative to heavier regional reds.
🍾 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.
