Domaine de Cassaigne: Gascon wine with an Armagnac past

On the limestone heights of Cassaigne, six winegrowing families look after land once devoted entirely to Armagnac. Plaimont’s purchase and vineyard renewal brought a new chapter: distinctive red and white Gascon wines alongside the estate’s older speciality. Local grapes such as Gros Manseng and Manseng Noir belong to that story. Cover crops and carefully timed treatments keep the work rooted in the needs of this particular plateau.

Grapes / sourcing: Gros Manseng, Colombard, Merlot, Syrah and Manseng Noir.
Farming: HVE level 3; cover crops and targeted treatments.
Winemaking: The Domaine de Cassaigne red is matured in barrels.
Terroir: Exposed limestone plateau in Armagnac-Ténarèze.
People: Six families of cooperative winegrowers.
They talk about: Gascon grapes and the meeting of wine and Armagnac.
