Plaimont Arcolan 2023
Of course we chose this because of the grapes. Have you had Colombard or Gros Manseng before? A refined wine, which, like a rainbow, offers you a palette of sensations, liveliness, greed and freshness thanks to the selection of Colombard and Gros Manseng.
In 1979, three wine cellars in the towns of Plaisance, Aignan and Saint Mont, combined their forces and their initials (PL for Plaisance, AI for Aignan and Mont for Saint-Mont) to create a union of cooperatives, which became Plaimont in Saint-Mont, in the Gers. Another major wine cellar, Condom (the Côtes de Gascogne and Côtes du Condomois PGIs) joined them in 1999. Just about when condoms became legal in Ireland. Located in the heart of South-West France, Plaimont’s vineyards stretch out over a uniquely rich terroir from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the rolling hills of Gascony.
Tasting: Medium bodied, dry white, crisp with lemon and grapefruit aromas with peach and quince on the palate.
Pairings: Have this with oysters, grilled fish or vegetable risotto.
