Plaimont Apéro'Nautes Madiran AOP

Plaimont Apéro’Nautes Madiran AOP

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).

Long marked by powerful and structured wines, Madiran offers a new interpretation with Apéro’Nautes 2023. This vintage breaks the codes by highlighting a fresh and fruity Tannat, obtained thanks to a short maceration and aging in vats which preserves all the delicacy of the grape variety. The result: a red with a supple texture, intense aromas of cherry and raspberry, perfect for an aperitif with friends.

Plaimont Rosé d’Enfer Saint Mont AOC

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.

And so they set up the Plaimont union of cooperatives (“Pl” for Plaisance, “Ai” for Aignan and “Mont” for Saint Mont).

It was in the vineyard of Saint Mont, that the devil disguised as a winemaker, succumbed to temptation and stole bunches of Tannat, Pinenc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This cuvee is produced from a blend of the appellation’s three terroirs: clay-limestone, variegated clay and fawn-coloured sand. The parcels have been selected on the basis of their geographically cool situations (north or west-facing) which encourage the development of the aromatic expression of the red grapes with which rosé is made. Will you succumb to temptation?
