Red wine
Le Faite Rouge Saint Mont AOC
The red version of Le Faite made with Tannat, Pinenc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is adorned by the same trademark wooden label and also takes blending direction from journalists and sommeliers. Like the white it is barrel aged for 12 months followed by 4 months settling. It is rich and full bodied, with dark blackberries, black currants, and spiciness. The Tannat adds complexity, firm tannin and lots of acidity for a balanced wine with a long finish. A real treat.

Plaimont Terroirs et Chateaux
As Caves Co-operatives come, they don’t come any better than Plaimont. It has the bigger picture of Saint Mont AOC and Gascony at heart, representing 800 growers and 10 chateaux including Chateau St. Go and Chateau Crouseilles. Everything they do, under the watchful eye of Head Winemaker Christine Cabri, they do well. They have revived rare and lost local grape varieties making the region one of discovery, again. The Cave produces a range of high quality whites and reds from the Saint Mont and Madiran AOCs. It also produces new and interesting IGP whites.
