Plaimont Producteurs

PLAIMONT - Origin

The Plaimont Cooperative is located in the heart of the Southwest, from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the rolling hills of Gascony, the vineyards stretch across terroirs of unique richness.

In the mid-1970s, André Dubosc a native of Gascony and third generation winemaker decided to improve the reputation of the wines of the Southwest. With the support of an enthusiastic team of young, enthusiastic winemakers, he created the dry, white country wines that are now IGP Côtes de Gascogne, revived the Saint Mont appellation and launched the late harvest Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh. in 1979, these men, uniting their love and know-how for the best terroir, decide to join forces by merging their wineries and businesses. They create the Plaimont cooperative ("Pl" for Plaisance, "Ai" for Aignan and "Mont" for Saint-Mont).

Since its creation, the Plaimont cooperative has acquired the most beautiful chateaux and estates in the region, where it has rebuilt its exemplary vineyards and developed a new ambition in the service of the collective. The Condom winery and other smaller wineries have also joined Plaimont and contributed to its development.
