Reviving Pacherene du Vic-Bilh at Domaine Plaimont

In the mid-1970s, Andre Dubosc, a third-generation winemaker, began revitalizing the wine scene in Southwest France. Alongside a group of passionate young winemakers, he crafted dry white wines under the IGP Cotes de Gascogne label and successfully revived the Pacherene du Vic-Bilh. Today, Domaine Plaimont stands as one of the most picturesque wine estates in the region, stretching from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the rolling hills of Gascony. The estate boasts remarkable architectural heritage, featuring the Chateau Saint-Go, Chateau Arricau-Bordes, Chateau de Sabazan, Domaine de Cassaigne, and the Monastery of Saint-Mont.

The Significance of the Name “Plaimont”

In 1979, the owner of Domaine Plaimont merged several estates and cellars, coining the name “Plaimont.” The name combines “Pl” for Plaisance, “Ai” for Aignan, and “Mont” for Saint-Mont. Over the years, Plaimont has emerged as a leader in Southwestern wines, with vineyards spread across notable appellations such as IGP Cotes de Gascogne, AOC Saint Mont, AOC Madiran, and AOC Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh.

We took part in a wine assembly workshop, guided by Celine who was engaging and interesting throughout. We learned about the local varieties of grapes and their different qualities. Then we assembled our own unique bottles of wine, using the proportions of each variety that suited our individual tastes. We all agreed (there were 16 of us) that this would be an experience we would never forget.

It's a good winery; it loads quickly, but sometimes you have to wait more than an hour for documents. There are showers and restrooms. The staff is friendly, and you can park on site. There's a company shop with tastings nearby. Have a good day.
