Wines made from Clairette grapes of Gard
Discover the best wines made with Clairette as a single variety or as a blend of Gard.
Vibrant and fresh rosés and clairets with a pale robe and tender mouth, featuring aromas of white flowers, citrus, fennel and delicate anise notes. Moderate acidity, light finish. A pink-skinned mutation of clairette blanche, occasionally blended into Provençal and Languedoc rosés. Clairette blanche signs Clairette de Die, Clairette du Languedoc AOC and enters Châteauneuf-du-Pape whites. Native southern French grape.
Vast Languedoc IGP between Costières and Camargue (Gard): signature Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault as reds and rosés — fruity and sun-drenched with cherry, strawberry, raspberry, garrigue, spice and a peppery touch (Camargue gris rosés emblematic on sand). Floral whites from Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Viognier and Vermentino. IGP, ~25,000 ha across 24 communes, sunny Mediterranean climate, cleansing mistral.
