Company The cellar of Orschwiller – Kintzheim was created in 1957 by just over ten growers of Orschwiller, Kintzheim and St Hippolyte. The manager, Mr André Maldonado is the wine maker and an Œnologue as well. The village of Orschwiller lies on the famous Alsatian Wine road (the route du vin), between Saint-Hippolyte and Kintzheim, at the bottom of the Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg (a famous castle with panoramic view on the Alsace valley), close to the eagle flying zoo and the so called monkey mountain.

Company In 1979, a few passionate committed winegrowers, helped by André Dubosc, took up the challenge of endowing their wines with the hallmark of their noble heritage. Together, these winegrowers founded the Producteurs Plaimont. Production stretches over 4500 ha of vineyards split. Our vineyards, situated half way between the Atlantic and the Pyrenees, lie on either side of the Adour Valley, in the heart of a country where, here and there, the rounded hills give way to steep slopes awash in sunlight. The south and east-facing slopes are planted with red grape varieties. The wines from the gravelly soils are well-rounded and light; those from clayey plots are likely to be able to age elegantly. The steeper western slopes with clay and limestone soils are home to the white varieties. The sustainable viticulture of Plaimont seeks to foster the positive impact of winegrowing practices on the environment. Along with their knowhow acquired from earlier generations, they have been front runners in several aspects of viticulture and winemaking: Micro-Bullage (Micro- Oxygenation), Pigeage (Pump Over) and Pulsair (Pulverizer) are some of the techniques and equipment widely used at Plaimont Products Red varieties: Tannat, Pinenc, Cabernet Sauvignon White varieties: Petit Courbu, Arrufiac, The two manseng Vineyards: Madiran (690ha) Pacherenc du Vic Bilh (125ha) Saint Mont (1,050ha) Vin de pays (2,890ha) Maturing and ageing: In barrels: Many of our wines have the required potential to benefit from maturing in oak. There are 5,000 barrels in the Producteurs Plaimont cellars, of which a third are new each year. On the lees: This method is used with white wines and also with certain of the reds allied to micro bubbling. This process confers greater length and lush roundness in the mouth at the same time as conserving the wine’s aromas. In the bottle: there are several million bottles laid down in our air-conditioned cellars.
