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: Côtes de Saint-Mont (VDQS) red, white and
Rosé, selections of terroirs such as Les Hauts de Bergelle, les Vignes
