Clairette de Die & Crémant de Die

Clairette de Die is a natural sparkling wine made in the Drôme county of France.

Its pale yellow dress presents very beautiful bright glints. Smells of apricot appear to the nose then the Clairette de Die reveals us delicates perfumes of roses and citrus fruits, typical aromas of Muscat variety which give to this wine all its elegance and its femininity. The effervescent leaves place then to a sensation of smooth very appreciated.
