Château Plaisance
Château Plaisance is the estate of the Penavayre family, who have been cultivating vines in Vacquiers for several generations, in the heart of the Fronton and Vin de Pays du comté Tolosan appellations. The estate was taken over and expanded by Marc Penavayre in 1991, taking over from his father Louis. Château Plaisance now boasts 30 hectares of vines.

In the early 2000s, Château Plaisance has refocused on gentle cultivation techniques, working the vines as closely as possible to the terroir, without fertilizers or weedkillers, giving priority to natural products, harvesting a very ripe, very healthy, sorted crop, and vinification guided by the idea of "letting the earth speak". According to this principle, the wines are fermented with natural yeasts, present on the grape skins, which guarantee the varietal typicity.

Château Plaisance officially qualified as organic as of the 2011 vintage (QUALITE France SAS FR BIO 10)

"The wine's tension holds the whole together on a vertical backbone and a good expression of wild négrette. A hint of vegetal, however, ratifies the whole. To be seen with ageing. (Le Guide RVF 2022)

Château Plaisance 2018

14,5/20 Bettane & Desseauve

(Notes vintage 2017)

From the highest terrace in the Tarn, at an altitude of around 200 m, this Fronton is open and elegant on the nose. A fleshy red, round on the palate, already well-balanced, fresh and delicious. A lovely vintage!

Château Plaisance - Cruchinet Chenin 2018

15/20 Bettane & Desseauve

"Fresh, floral, orange zest, almond and fresh hazelnut lead the way. Very well made, slightly tannic, this white has character and a lovely hint of bitterness on the finish." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2020) A lovely white to discover!

"Marc Penavayre, one of the appellation's pillars, has produced a lively, sanguine négrette that appears a little austere on opening in this vintage, but proves fresh on the palate. To be opened within the next three years". (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2016 - Gerbelle & Maurange) Ripe and generous, with low acidity, Alabets 100% Négrette is a real pleasure to drink!

A delicious blend of Sémillon, Chenin and Liliorila, this mellow wine reveals discreet but pleasant citrus aromas on the nose, as well as delicate floral notes. On the palate, the sugar-alcohol balance gives it an irresistible mellowness, subtle and persistent. A wine for pleasure par excellence, to be reserved for foie gras or gourmet desserts!
