Plaimont Le Faite Rouge Saint Mont 2021 75cl

Tasting Note

The red Le Faîte (from Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinenc grapes) is produced from several of the best terroirs in the Aignan, Plaisance, and Saint Mont. They comprise limestone and variegated clay soils, and fawn-coloured sand. The parcels are old enough for the vine roots to accept regulated water, and have been selected for their cool geographical situations in order to produce grapes bursting with all the power and freshness the area’s microclimate can bestow. The wine is well structured, and develops an aromatic complexity of black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant) and liqueur, underlined by subtly toasted notes.

With a combination of local grape varieties, knowledge and rigorous hard work, the members of Plaimont have succeeded in producing extremely high quality wines from the terroirs of Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, Saint Mont and Côtes de Gascogne.
