Clairette de Die is a fruity, light and sweet sparkling wine made in the Rhône Valley with the grape Muscat following the traditionnal Méthode Dioise. It is the same used for the spumante d'Asti on the other side of the Alps which is a méthode traditionnelle. The Clairette de Die has less alcohol (only 8%).
This cider is produced from no less than 20 different varieties of apples. This gives it a very nice balance between the sweet, bitter and acidic varieties.
Small, elegant and lasting bubbles, flowery and fruity nose with notes of ripe apricots and mirabelles, a lively and refreshing attack with subtle hints of peach. In the mouth it is ample and rich with a lingering racy and refreshing taste.
The fruity nose is typical of a Chardonnay which reached a perfect maturity. The pearl is extremely fine and smooth and the acidity barely perceptible. This Champagne is a real pleasure in ths mouth and especially stands out because of its lack of bitterness. A really good price/quality ratio.
The Pinot Noir is the only grape-variety used to produce the Rosé Crémants of Alsace which are so charming and delicate. A dry and gently fruity wine with harmonious foam, it produces notes of red flesh fruits and a finale enhanced by a touch of vanilla flavor.
