Plaimont Sauvignon Blanc Côtes de Gascogne IGP

2025

Plaimont Sauvignon Blanc 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 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.

Prelude a Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac AOC (Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2nd wine)

2017

Prelude a Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac AOC (Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2nd wine)

Three large plots in the best parts of Pauillac form the vineyard of this classified growth, an unusual configuration and a direct inheritance from the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse, an eminent lawyer. In the 18th century he gave a single name to a fine vineyard holding, which was put together through inheritance and purchases. When he died in 1797, his son, Pierre, inherited a 60-hectare exploitation, named Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud, of which two third were planted with vines. The estate was classified in 1855, under the name of Artigues Arnaud.

The second wine, Prélude à Grand-Puy Ducasse, was created in 1955, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the estate’s classification.

Maison Trenel has always sought authenticity for both its fruit liqueurs and its wines. Authenticity of the fruit, authenticity of the terroir. The purest expression of their origins. Born from a love of its land with its Burgundy traditions, there are numerous similarities between Maison Trenel and M. Chapoutier, their shared love of excellence being the first.

The Fleurie appellation, located in the heart of the Beaujolais crus, is not a reference to the region’s lush vegetation but to the name of the Roman legionary Fleurus. Yet, its wines are often described as the finest in Beaujolais. They do indeed possess a fleshy, silky texture and aromas of violet, rose, or iris, imparted by the sandy soils derived from pink granite in which the vines are planted.
