Producteurs Plaimont 2007 Collection Plaimont Red (Madiran)

Price $18

The aroma is earthy, while on the palate this wine shows a full-bodied structure and rich, chewy black fruits. There is minerality here, a very textured wine offering spice as well as blackberry and plum-skin flavors. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Producteurs Plaimont 2008 Château de Crouseilles Tannat-Cabernet Franc (Madiran)

Producteurs Plaimont 2009 Cuvée 1907 Tannat (Madiran)

Price $16

Darkly tannic, Tannat-dominated wine. The structure is formidable, its rich fruit layered with the dry spice, fruit cake flavor and a powerful texture. Think of this wine with a stew, but also age for a few years. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Producteurs Plaimont 2009 L’Empreinte de Saint-Mont Red (Saint-Mont)

Dense, dusty tannins show the concentration of this wine from the southwest region of Armagnac. The wine has power and a solid, chunky character. Dark plum, cranberry and wood flavors combine well. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Producteurs Plaimont 2010 L’Empreinte de Saint-Mont Blanc White (Saint-Mont)

Price $22

A wine that has all the freshness of the Gascony region while bursting with some extra weight of fruit. There is a fine citrus and apricot concentration, just a hint of toast and enticing fresh acidity. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $16

A wine created to celebrate 100 years of Madiran as a designated region, this is a solid, chunky, proper expression of Tannat. The tannins mold easily into the rich black berry fruits, a wine piled high with complex flavors. — R.V. (12/15/2010)

Producteurs Plaimont 2004 Plénitude Tannat (Madiran)

Online Exclusive

Price $35

A powerful expression of Tannat. In the Madiran region, 2004 was a bigger vintage than in Bordeaux to the north, and this shows in the rich structure, dark tannins and spiced black fruits. It is rich enough to drink now, but the acidity, the wood and the power all point to aging over 4–10 years. Worth decanting. — R.V. (11/15/2008)

Producteurs Plaimont 2002 Château de Crouseilles Red (Madiran)

Online Exclusive

Price $40

It was wise to wait to release this wine, because even now, its tannins are powerfully in evidence. But it also shows great fruit, solid black plums giving density. There’s a smokiness from the wood that also brings spice and vanilla. — R.V. (11/15/2008)
