Plaimont Sauvignon Blanc Côtes de Gascogne IGP

Vinum Lector Staff — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 15:30:38 +0000

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 Sauvignon Blanc Côtes de Gascogne IGP is an exuberant, incredibly refreshing white wine from Southwest France. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it offers an intensely aromatic style that bridges the gap between classic French minerality and the punchy tropical traits of New Zealand.

A collection of wines with individual character.

Sauvignon blanc is known as a refreshing dry wine with great minerality, herbal aromas and a nice crisp acidity. The wine is rarely aged in oak barrels, with winemakers preferring to exhibit the naturally bright and fruity characteristics of the grape. Open the bottle and let it breathe.

Kalfu Molu Sauvignon Blanc

Vinum Lector Staff — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 15:27:53 +0000

Kalfu means "Blue" in Mapudungun, the language of the aboriginal Mapuche people of the region. It represents the color that provides a myriad of sensations: blue, like the Pacific Ocean's intense blue; and blue, like the free sky, acting as an accomplice of and witness to the mysterious origins of life. Molu means West or “where the sun sets”. History tells us that the mapuche saw the stars in the sky over the Pacific Ocean and as the earth was rotating, they would hide in the sea and become starfish. At that time no one knew that the earth was round and turning; back then they believed the stars were falling into the deep darkness of the ocean. For more info, visit Kalfu website.

The award-winning Calrossie Vineyard wines from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand are celebrated for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Calrossie Vineyard wines are the product of meticulous attention to detail and offer elegant expressions of vineyard and vintage. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit was sourced from the Rose Family Vineyard in Omaka Valley, Marlborough. Chosen for its similarity to the Calrossie Vineyard (in the Awatere Valley), the soils are also wind-blown loess over rich clay. The 2023 growing season in Marlborough was an easy one, perhaps only made challenging by rain at harvest time. That said, good luck and a well- timed pick had us harvest the fruit at perfect ripeness and in great condition. For more info, visit Calrossie Vineyard website.
