Details and technical informations about Winery Plaimont's Madiran.
Discover the grape variety: Knipperlé
Dry, lively and neutral whites, with a pale golden robe, a taut palate with preserved acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet and productive rustic profile. Once more widespread, today virtually extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections and a few patrimonial Alsatian parcels, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic heritage of Alsace. Autochthonous Alsatian white variety.

The wine region of Madiran
South-West capital of age-worthy reds at the foot of the Pyrenees: signature Tannat as king red (60-80%) — black robe and powerful profile with notes of raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, spices, liquorice, undergrowth and a leather touch, signature dense and nervy tannins, firm structure and 10-30 years ageing softening to velvet. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as backup. AOC (1948) over Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées and Pyrénées-Atlantiques, clay-limestones and silico-clays.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Reims Mountain
Between Épernay and Reims, a large limestone massif with varied soils and exposure where pinot noir reigns supreme. Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, etc., are equivalent to the Burgundian Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. There are also great Chardonnays, which are rarer (Mailly, Marmery, Trépail, Villers).
