Plaimont
Located in the heart of South-West France, our vineyards stretch out over a uniquely rich terroir from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the rolling hills of Gascony. The Plaimont group is the result of an association of three wineries which, in 1979, united their initials (PL for Plaisance, AI for Aignan and MONT for Saint-Mont) to create this leader in wines from the South-West producing 40 million bottles per year. Joined in 1999 by the Condom and Crouseilles cellars, Plaimont represents 98% of the Saint-Mont appellation, around half of the Madiran and Pacherenc-du-Vic-Bilh AOCs as well as the Côtes-de-Gascogne IGP. A major player.
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. From the outset, Plaimont acquired the region’s finest châteaux and estates to rebuild those iconic vineyards and give a new impetus to the region. The Cave de Condom and many smaller wineries joined Plaimont to support its development.
98% of the Saint Mont appellation (red, white and rosé), 55% of the Madiran appellation and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh appellation and almost half of the Côtes de Gascogne PGI. Plaimont has become a leader in wines from South West France over just a few decades. Its plant heritage (parcel of vines registered as a Heritage Site, Ampelographic Conservatory) and built heritage (Château Arricau-Bordes, Château de Sabazan, Château Saint-Go, Saint-Mont Monastery, Domaine de Cassaigne, etc.) are a testimony to the excellence of Plaimont production.
