The wine region of Clairette de Die
Sparkling AOC in the Drôme (Rhône valley), Dioise ancestral method (single bottle fermentation). Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (min. 75%, topped up with Clairette): fine bubbles, pale to golden colour, ~7-8% alcohol — brilliant aromas of rose, honeysuckle, citrus, honey, peach, apricot, mango, litchi; sweet and refreshing. Light festive wine, drink young and chilled (6-8°C).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
