✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the dramatic clay-limestone slopes of the Madiran appellation in South-West France, the Réserve des Tuguets is a benchmark expression of the region's formidable terroir and its signature grape, Tannat. Crafted by the skilled winemakers of the Plaimont cooperative, this cuvée pays homage to the 'tuguets'—the historic hilltops and ridges that define the Pyrenean foothills. Historically, Tannat was known for its fierce, rustic tannins, but through careful parcel selection, gentle extraction, and seasoned oak aging, Plaimont coaxes out a remarkably deep, velvety profile. The wine marries the intense black fruit and structural power of Tannat with the refined aromatics of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a robust red that beautifully captures the rustic elegance and rich winemaking heritage of Gascony.
🍾 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.
