Plaimont PAN Colombard-Petit Manseng Côtes de Gascogne IGP
It all began in the mid-1970s when André Dubosc – a third-generation wine grower – set out to build up the reputation of the wines from their region of South-West France. He and other passionate young winegrowers fashioned local dry white wines (now a PGI: Côtes de Gascogne), revived the Saint Mont appellation and gave a new breath of life to the Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, made from late-harvested grapes. In 1979, these women and men, who put their heart, soul and know-how into producing the best the terroir could offer, decided to strengthen their foothold by uniting their wine cellars and estates. And so they set up the Plaimont union of cooperatives (“Pl” for Plaisance, “Ai” for Aignan and “Mont” for Saint Mont).
Plaimont invites you to discover a whole universe of native varietals from South-West France. The cuvée PAN brings together Colombard and Petit Manseng in a unique blend offering a wonderful balance between freshness and sweetness. Influenced by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Pyrenees to the south, the particular microclimate of Gascony alone determines the freshness and aromatic typicity of the wines of the area. The Colombard expresses here all its aromatic freshness while the Petit Manseng, harvested later, brings complexity and delicacy.
