Clairette Blanche is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Languedoc and Rhône regions of France. Known for its high acidity and aromatic qualities, it is often used in the production of both still and sparkling wines. The grape has a thin skin, which makes it susceptible to diseases but contributes to its fresh and fruity flavor profile. This grape variety is a key component in the production of Clairette de Die, a sparkling wine that is made using the traditional méthode champenoise. Clairette Blanche is also blended with other grape varieties to enhance the complexity and character of various wines, making it a versatile choice for winemakers.
