Friday, September 22, 2023 - We must protect the people at Plaimont at all cost!

They're the vignerons doing important work rescuing native varieties from extinction in the southwest of France. And this bottle is a noble testament to the work they do.

A blend of 60% Gros Manseng, 25% Petit Corbu, 15% Arrufiac - these varieties are traditional to Saint Mont in the Gascogne region in France.

Pale yellow with gold inflections. The nose is exotic yet at the same time familiar. White peach, green citrus, green herbs like lemongrass and cilantro and fleshy orchard fruits. Shows best when at about 50 deg F. Racy acidity with exotic Asian herbal undertone on the palate. The finish is mineral, saline and brings to mind sweet ginseng and angelica root and lasts a good 60 seconds. Love this stuff!
