Plaimont
In the mid-1970s, André Dubosc, a third-generation wine grower, embarked on a mission to elevate the wines of South-West France. Alongside other passionate young winegrowers, he crafted local dry white wines (now recognized as PGI: Côtes de Gascogne), revitalized the Saint Mont appellation, and rejuvenated Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, a wine made from late-harvested grapes. In 1979, these dedicated individuals, driven by their expertise and devotion, united their wine cellars and estates to form the Plaimont union of cooperatives (“Pl” for Plaisance, “Ai” for Aignan, and “Mont” for Saint Mont).
From its inception, Plaimont acquired the region’s most esteemed châteaux and estates, restoring iconic vineyards and invigorating the area. The Cave de Condom and numerous smaller wineries joined Plaimont, bolstering its growth and development.
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.
Leader in Wines
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.
Drawing inspiration from nature
From the very beginning, they have focused on biodiversity by exclusively cultivating the ancestral local grape varieties unique to their region.
In every step of their work, both in the vineyards and in the winery, they are committed to using fair and natural practices. These methods ensure not only the production of high-quality grapes but also a taste expression that fully reveals the diverse and rich characteristics of their terroirs. By adhering to these principles, they maintain the authenticity and heritage of their wine-making traditions, contributing to the sustainability and biodiversity of their vineyards.
