Domaine de Cassaigne

The people behind the bottle

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.
