Clairette de Die: Tradition

This organic Clairette de Die (from Jean-Pierre Achard, and his son Thomas, of Domaine Achard-Vincent) is a peerless mid-morning restorative and a great wine for picnics and garden parties. The classic food accompaniment is walnuts (which thrive locally) but it is well suited to all manner of cakes and fruit-based desserts.

What others think of this wine...

Olly Smith - Daily Mail, 31st March 2012. says:
I was knocked out by Domaine Achard-Vincent Clairette de Die Tradition NV, which for me is the wine of the summer! Fizzy, fruity, floral, and light in alcohol (7 per cent), it’s like sherbet buzzing in a glass. Pair it chilled with fresh fruit, slices of cake or the traditional match of walnuts. Outstanding, unusual and great frothy fun and exactly what a specialist importer can offer par excellence.

This is an organic wine
Style: White Wine, Dry (Sec), Light-bodied, Sparkling
Region: Rhone, Clairette de Die
Producer: Jean-Pierre Achard
Grape variety (Cépage): Clairette, Muscat
Cellarage: Best drunk when young and fresh, within its first 3 years.
Vinification: This unique, softly sparkling wine is made by the ancient Méthode Dioise. After crushing, the grape juice is chilled and then slowly filtered to remove larger yeast cells whilst leaving some sugars and delaying fermentation. Thus at the time of bottling there is still enough residual sugar to induce a secondary fermentation in bottle. This wine must then rest for at least 4 months in bottle prior to disgorgement and rebottling and release to ensure that fermentation is complete.
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 7%
