Monastere de Saint Mont Rouge AOC Saint Mont Producteurs Plaimont 2008

Monastere de Saint Mont Rouge AOC Saint Mont Producteurs Plaimont 2008

We’re here in the heart of Gascony, in the appellation of Saint-Mont, a territory with a rich viticultural past revived in the 70’ by Andre Dubosc and other like-minded, passionate vinegrowers. The late ripening, thick-skin and highly tannic local Tannat varietal thrives in this climate where it benefits of a long, slow, ripening season extending from April until late September with daily luminous sunshine, and cooler night-time temperature conferred by the nearby Pyrenees. Aged for 11months in French oak barrels, this blend expresses the richness of this unique terroir. The intense dark cherry-currant-plum fruit character is carried by thick, velvety-textured tannins and completed by a distinctive underlying freshness. A powerful wine that needs food to shine.

"The emblematic cuvée Monastère is the fruit of a 5ha vineyard co-planted with local star Tannat grape, together with indigenous Pinenc and Cabernet Sauvignon varietals. Found on a north-facing slopes over rich clay soils, this historic vineyard was initially planted in the XI century by Benedictine Monks and is overlooked by Plaimont-owned monastery, perched on the village hillside."

French Wine

France is without doubt the world’s supreme wine-producing country, unmatched for the finesse, style and sheer diversity of its wines. France’s revered wine regions form a roll of honour beyond compare. The enduring appeal of France’s classic wine styles turns on the peculiarly French – and often controversial – concept of terroir, the belief in wine with a ‘sense of place’, with flavours and textures.
