Plaimont Colombelle Night Feather Côtes de Gascogne IGP 2025

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).

Their vision came to life in 1984 with the birth of Colombelle, an innovative cuvée that offered a bold response to the Armagnac crisis and marked the region’s revival. For the en primeur season, Colombelle unveils a limited edition “Night Feather,” inspired by the 1970s and the exuberance of its origins. Free-spirited, colorful, and retro, it reflects the fresh, daring, and convivial spirit of the wine. Sourced from selected parcels in Côtes de Gascogne, Colombelle charms with its liveliness and aromatic expression, designed for aperitifs and moments of togetherness.

The label design was entrusted to the Com Océan agency, which reaffirms the unique, modern, and distinctive style of Plaimont’s iconic cuvée.
