'Pasheronk doo Vick Beel'. Even the producers of our luscious, glimmering gold dessert wine, France's progressive Plaimont winery, admit it's a pretty strange name. The ancient title derives from the Gascon 'Bi de Bits Pacherads' or 'wines from staked vines' grown in the 'old country' 'Vic Bilh' hills south of Armagnac. A blend of local varieties Arrufiac, Petit Grand Corbu, Petit Manseng picked over ripe, it was barrel fermented and matured on its lees to lend structure and preserve fruitiness.
