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.
🍾 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.
