Micro-AOC single-varietal from the Gard (10 ha around Bellegarde at the gates of the Camargue, stony plateau at 60 m, well-drained clay-silica soils). Clairette as exclusive signature white — delicate and expressive with lively notes of lime blossom, acacia, honeysuckle, pear, citrus and a saline-Mediterranean touch; characteristic noble slight bitterness. Evolves with age toward honey and candied lime. Southern sister of Clairette du Languedoc.
