Zinnkoepflé soils sits upon shelly Muschelkalk limestone strewn with sandstone inclusions which provide aromatic finesse and remarkable acidity – the base for the superb intensity of these terroir wines. Zinnkoepflé produces wines marked by generous maturity which translates on the palate into aromas of candied fruit and toasted notes. Simultaneously, the mouth structure reveals complex freshness. This duality bestows weight, finishing with a subtle, sweeping and highly precise minerality. In particolar, Riesling unfolds notes of citrus fruit peel giving a succulent sensation, a mere prelude to intense minerality.

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.

A wine-growing area for many years given over to producing Armagnac brandy, Côtes de Gascogne enjoyed a winemaking revival in the late 1970s, when André DUBOSC, founder of the PLAIMONT union, rediscovered the “French Colombard of the Gers”. First created about thirty years ago following the rediscovery of the Colombard grape, Colombelle has since become THE emblematic wine of Côtes de Gascogne. Known throughout the world for its inimitable aromatic style, paired with Sauvignon blanc, Colombelle’s vivacity and freshness offers a mirror image of a region of South-West France niched between ocean and mountain range: exuberant, crisp, and characterful.
