Clairette

About this grape variety

Clairette is an old southern French white grape — one of the original Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc blending varieties and the star of Clairette de Die's traditional sparkling wine. The grape produces aromatic, medium-bodied whites with white-flower, citrus and ripe-apple notes; needs careful winemaking to retain acidity.
