✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, rolling hillsides of Gascony in South-West France, Plaimont's Petite Gasconne Blanc is a vibrant tribute to the historic homeland of d'Artagnan and the legendary Musketeers. This light, aromatic white wine captures the essence of the region's maritime-influenced clay-sand soils, locally known as 'boulbènes'. Crafted from the traditional Gascon varieties Colombard and Ugni Blanc, the wine undergoes cool fermentation and short aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve its intense, naturally expressive aromatics. It beautifully reflects the local winemaking heritage, where freshness and vivacity are prized above all, offering a bright bouquet of citrus blossoms, green apple, and exotic fruits.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1979 under the visionary leadership of André Dubosc, Plaimont emerged from the union of passionate winegrowers from Plaisance, Aignan, and Saint-Mont in the heart of Gascony in Southwest France. Today, the cooperative represents a collective dedication to regional heritage, championing the revival and preservation of rare, indigenous grape varieties such as Tannat, Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, and Pinenc. Situated across the foothills of the Pyrenees, the estate manages historic vineyards spanning Saint Mont, Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, and Côtes de Gascogne. Plaimont is celebrated for its diverse and authentic portfolio, ranging from crisp, aromatic whites and vibrant rosés like the Fleur d'Artagnan and Saint Mont selections to structured, age-worthy red wines and refined sparkling expressions.
