{"product_id":"beret-noir-rouge-st-mont-plaimont","title":"Beret Noir 2022 St Mont Rouge AOC, Plaimont","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoasting crisp acidity and a plump texture, this medium-bodied red shows dark cherry, muddled plum and blackberry fruit, with sweet spice and floral accents. Lightly grippy tannins match with herb and mineral details on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is 100% Tannat, widely better known as the red grape of Madiran, but modern vineyard practices and advanced wine making techniques have helped to soften this traditionally formidable grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e2022 - 13.5% abv\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSituated on the first rolling slopes of the Pyrenean foothills with villages clustered under hilltop castles (the area is often referred to as the French Tuscany), the Saint Mont appellation is in Gers, half-way between coastal Bayonne and Toulouse, and part of Gascony. It is noted for being amongst the most rural, least densely populated areas in Europe. The villages are small and far apart so agriculture is the main industry, helped by a warm but mild microclimate and excellent terroir. If you like peace and quiet whilst eating top class 'hearty' food, washed down by good value wine, then a holiday in the Gers would be ideal for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name 'Beret Noir' is a reference (tongue in cheek?) to the long tradition of beret wearing vignerons in this area, where fashion has a minimal influence!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Producteurs des Plaimont","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19614929420376,"sku":"","price":12.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/Beret_Noir_Rouge_2022.jpg?v=1792511430","url":"https:\/\/www.christopherpiperwines.co.uk\/products\/beret-noir-rouge-st-mont-plaimont","provider":"Christopher Piper Wines Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
