Discovering the wine region of Clairette de Die

Clairette de Die is an appellation for Sparkling white wines from the area around the town of Die. It is located in the lower alpine foothills of the Eastern Rhône region of France. The wine is made by the traditional method (as in Champagne) entirely from Clairette grapes. It is generally marketed as Brut.

In contrast, Clairette de Die Tradition (aka Méthode Dioise Ancestrale) is not made using the traditional method. Instead, the partially fermented wine is bottled after one to two months to complete the Fermentation in the bottle. The wines only reach 7-9% and are quite Sweet and Fruity. There is often confusion between these two styles, both by consumers and wine professionals.

Discover the grape variety: Jurançon noir

Jurançon noir is a grape variety that comes from the Agenais region in southwestern France. It is a cross between malbec and folle blanche. Although it is quite similar to the white Jurançon, it is not the black form of the latter. Its bunches are compact and short, medium-sized and cylindrical-conical. Its berries are spherical-ellipsoid in shape. They are attached to short pedicels that are warty and strong. The skin is dark black and has a strong bloom. This variety has an average budding time and is hardy, vigorous and fertile. It gives a regular production, but it must be pruned short so that it does not quickly become exhausted. It fears grey rot, mildew, drought and grape worms. Jurançon Noir makes common, slightly alcoholic and lightly colored wines. Vinified as a rosé, it produces fruity and lively wines.

Walls: Tavel and its unexpected revolution

When asked which is the most exciting appellation in the Rhône, there’s one that currently springs to mind before all others: Tavel. I have to be honest with you: I don’t buy much rosé. So, given that Tavel is, according to The Oxford Companion to Wine, ‘one of France’s few all-rosé appellations,’ my response might be unexpected. The Oxford Companion is technically correct, of course – the wines made here are paler than a typical red wine. But compared to other rosés, that’s where the comparison ...
