Description:
Ever since its foundation in 1979 in southwest France, wine cooperative Plaimont has crafted its own interpretation of the future of winemaking – built on a reappreciation of the past.

Rather than merely watching the future unfold, Plaimont’s ethos is one of hope and possibility, founded on the belief that the answers to today’s winemaking and viticultural challenges lie in pairing modern technology with previous generations’ ancestral knowledge of the land and its vines.

Although the fruits of Plaimont’s efforts are ultimately seen in its wines, this ‘cooperative of cooperatives’ is equally focused on the natural and human resources that make them possible. Today, Plaimont brings together 600 families managing a total of 5,300ha across IGP Côtes de Gascogne, AOC Saint Mont, AOC Madiran, AOC Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh and AOC Jurançon. Plaimont’s work – and identity – is based on a collective effort to preserve and reinterpret the terroir of the French Pyrenees and its local varieties.

Tasting Note:
The first vintage of Yura fully overseen by Plaimont shows depth and perfumed nuance, both balanced by linear acidity and zesty focus. Linden, rose petals, toasted almonds, pear and greengage mingle on the palate, with a delicious hint of white truffle starting to emerge in the background.
