Clairette de Die is produced with the ancestral dioise method. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are rapidly pressed after the harvest and then placed in vats at low temperatures (replicating the process used by the Voconces in ancient times who kept the jars in the icy waters of their local rivers). The half-fermented must is bottled and fermentation continues in the bottle, giving a naturally sparkling wine. Disgorging occurs at least six months after bottling, while the wine still contains sugar and has reached an alcohol content of 7 to 9 %.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\nThis is a sparkling wine with very fine bubbles, light in alcohol (8°), and containing residual sugar (incomplete fermentation). Clairette de Die has been known since ancient times (dates back to 77 A.D.). Clairette brings delicacy and lightness to the wine whereas Muscat gives its typical sweet flavor. The wine displays intense aromas, a refreshing balance of fruit and acidity with peach, orange and white flowers flavors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an ideal wine for all desserts and ice creams, and is very interesting with foie gras. It is especially suitable for daytime meetings and cocktail parties. A great breakfast wine!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWine to be consumed young, to conserve the full fruity and floral flavors. To be stored flat in a cool room away from light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e92 Points \u0026amp; Best Buy - Beverage Tasting Institute:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"White gold color.
