✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept clay and limestone hillsides of the Saint Mont appellation, the '3 Chevaliers' Blanc is a tribute to the legendary knights and musketeers of Gascony. Crafted by the dedicated growers of the Plaimont cooperative, this white wine showcases the unique microclimate of the Pyrenean foothills, where cool mountain breezes preserve vibrant acidity. The wine is typically fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and aged on its fine lees to develop a rich, textured mouthfeel that balances its bright, citrusy core. It represents a modern revival of ancient local viticultural traditions, drawing on centuries of monastic winemaking heritage centered around the historic monastery of Saint-Mont.
🍾 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.
