Clairette is a classic grape variety prized for producing light, aromatic white wines with a fresh, easy-drinking character. Grown in several Mediterranean influenced regions, it’s especially well known in the south of France, where it often brings gentle floral notes and a pleasant, lively acidity to the glass.

Wines made from Clairette are typically fragrant rather than overpowering, with flavours that can lean towards pear, soft citrus and hints of blossom. Depending on the winemaking, you may also notice a subtle savoury edge or a creamy texture, particularly when the grapes are aged on lees or blended with other varieties.

If you’re exploring the wider world of Grapes, Clairette is a great choice to broaden your tasting experience. It pairs comfortably with a range of food, from seafood and grilled vegetables to light chicken dishes and creamy sauces, thanks to its refreshing balance.

Whether you prefer a crisp style for aperitif moments or a slightly richer expression, Clairette offers a friendly, versatile profile that suits many occasions.
