Where is it from?

Clairette de Die AOC is located in the southern Rhone Valley. The Diois region is included in the northernmost portion of the southern sub-alpine ranges. It is bordered to the north by the high cliffs of the Vercors and to the west by the Rhodanian depression. This location ensures a sunny climate marked by Mediterranean influences.

Which grape variety does it use?

Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains and Clairette.

Shall we taste?

Appearance: Rather pale colour with light green reflections. The very fine bubbles form a rather persistent mousse.

Nose: Rich, elegant and fine, the fragrance of the Muscat grape is evident. A fine analysis reveals an elegant and fresh aromatic richness: rose, lemon, citrus and honey.

Palate: The first impression is that of biting into a beautiful, ripe Muscat grape, followed by the sparkle. This lightness is associated with a sensation of sweetness, brought by the unfermented sugar that remains in the wine. Incomplete fermentation makes Clairette-de-Die a low alcohol wine (between 7 and 8% vol.), light and elegant.

Serving Temperature: 6-8°C

Ageing potential: To be drunk young, the risk being that its subtle perfumes are replaced by others less flattering.
