✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, rolling hills of Gascony in South-West France, Yura Sec is a vibrant testament to Plaimont's mastery of fresh, aromatic white wines. This cuvée draws on the region's rich viticultural heritage, where the maritime influence from the Atlantic meets the warm breezes of the Pyrenees. Historically famous as the homeland of d'Artagnan and the birthplace of Armagnac, Gascony has successfully transitioned its traditional distillation grapes into world-class, crisp dry whites. Yura Sec is crafted to highlight this lively Gascon character, offering an expressive bouquet of citrus, green apple, and exotic fruits, underpinned by a refreshing, zesty acidity that reflects the clay-limestone soils of the terroir.
🍾 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.
