Union de Plaimont – Colombelle L’Original

Côtes de Gascogne IGP

Situated in the heart of South-West France, the Plaimont vineyards stretch from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the hills and valleys of Gascony covering a uniquely rich terroir. Union de Plaimont uses modern equipment and sustainable methods.

Grape varieties:

Colombard – Ugni blanc

Vineyard:;

The microclimate of Gascony improve freshness and aromatic typicity of the vineyard. The soil is ploughed between the rows in order to avoid early drought conditions.

Winemaking:

Grapes are harvested at night in order to preserve their aromas. Then the fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperature of 66 Fahrenheit, in order to enhance the aromatic potential of citrus and tropical fruits.

Tasting note:

This wine offers a pale color with green tints and an intensely fresh and fruity bouquet, dominated by yellow and white fruit aromas with grapefruit hints. The palate is firm and fruity with a floral touch, then the wine has a crisp and lemony finish.

Food pairing:

This wine can be served as an aperitif, or with sushis but it will be perfect with Moroccan, Indian and Asian dishes. This wine will also match some desserts such as citrus cheesecake.
