The Producteurs Plaimont are located in Saint-Mont in the Gers area, in the heart of Gascony. About a thousand vine-growers have committed themselves to producing high-quality grapes. They have chosen to work under the responsibility of harvesting commissions, viticultural technicians and ¦nologists who provide counselling and have written up strict specifications. The vine-growers respect tradition - harvesting by hand and removal of some bunches of grapes before they are ripe to ensure that the remaining grapes are better nourished by the vine. The Producteurs de Plaimont have air-conditioned winery facilities which contain 3,500 oak barrels.
The range is a wide one: Saint-Mont (VDQS) red, white and Rosé, selections of terroirs such as Les Hauts de Bergelle, les Vignes Retrouvées and Faîte. Estates and Châteaux of Saint-Mont : Château de la Roque, de Sabazan, Monastère de St-Mont; Madiran (AOC) Blason des Croisés, Plénitude et Maestria.
La Mothe Peyran is a selection of wines matured in oak barrels and Arte Benedicte is a selection of the best terroirs, also matured in barrels. Other wines: the Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh (AOC), sweet, made with successive selection of over-ripe grapes, a Gascon delight. The Plaimont and Saint-Albert Collection. The Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Saint-Sylvestre is an exceptional wine made with the fruit from the 5th picking process (31st December). Also worth tasting: the Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne White, Colombelle Plaimont and Caprice de Colombelle.
