✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic clay-limestone hillsides of the Saint-Mont appellation in South-West France, the Saint Mont '3 Chevaliers' (Trois Chevaliers) Rouge is a beautiful tribute to the region's medieval heritage and the legendary knights of Gascony. Crafted by the pioneering Plaimont cooperative, this cuvée draws its strength and character from the ancient soils tended for centuries by the Benedictine monks of the Saint-Mont Monastery. The wine is built around the robust, deeply colored Tannat grape, harmoniously softened by the rustic charm of Pinenc (Fer Servadou) and the structured elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon. Traditional vinification followed by careful aging in oak barrels coaxes out a rich profile of dark bramble fruits, black pepper, and toasted spices, underpinned by the firm yet velvety tannins that define the great reds of the Pyrenean foothills.
🍾 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.
