✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named in honor of the legendary Charles de Batz de Castelmore, better known as d'Artagnan—the famous captain of the Musketeers born nearby in Gascony—this wine captures the rustic, noble spirit of the Saint Mont appellation. Crafted by the visionary Plaimont cooperative, the R eserve d'Artagnan Rouge is grown on the rolling hillsides of the Pyrenean foothills, where clay, limestone, and variegated sandy soils impart structure and freshness. The blend is anchored by Tannat, the region's flagship grape known for its deep color and robust structure, complemented by the aromatic, red-fruit character of Pinenc (Fer Servadou) and the elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinified to preserve the vibrant fruit character while softening the powerful Tannat tannins, this wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by careful aging, resulting in a harmonious, deeply expressive red that speaks of Gascon heritage and terroir.
🍾 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.
