STORY: Probably the most famous resident of Gascony was the Comte d'Artagnan, known as the 4th Musketeer in Alexandre Dumas' bestseller.
-
VINIFICATION: After the harvest, the grapes are immediately selected and gently pressed. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, the wine ages on the fine lees for a few months.
-
AROMA: Blackberry, violet and plum aromas with hints of vanilla.
-
RATING: This light-footed Gascogner presents itself to the connoisseur as wonderfully dry and supple. In the finale, the youthful red wine inspires with a remarkable aftertaste.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION: With hearty stews.
Gascony lies deep in the southwest of France, bordered by the Atlantic, the Pyrenees and the Garonne. At the end of the 1970s, committed winegrowers from the communities of Plaisance, Aignan and Saint Mont joined forces and put the Côtes de Gascogne on the world wine list. The Plaimont wine cooperative was born. Your Fleur de d'Artagnan wine series, the flower of d'Artagnan, stands for spirited, honest and fresh wines from the classic grape varieties of Gascony, Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Tannat. But of course the charm and world fame of Bordelais, which is not so far away, cannot harm the Fleur de d'Artagnan wines either, which is why the classics also go into the Plaimont creations. Together they form the foundation on which the success of the Plaimont wine cooperative is based.
