Tradition - Domaine Guigouret - 75 cl

CLAIRETTE DE DIE - 100% Muscat

Geographical Situation : The Diois vineyard (Rhône Alpes) is situated on the banks of the Drome valley, between the Drôme provençale and the foothills of the Vercors.
Vinification : Naturally effervescent, sweet and fruity white wine elaborated according to the "Méthode Ancestrale Dioise". After pressing the grapes, the juice is kept cold. Naturally, slowly and at low temperature, the fermentation begins in vats. At mid-fermentation, the wine is bottled without the addition of tirage liqueur. The resumption of fermentation in the bottle, also called "prise de mousse", takes place at 12°C and lasts at least 4 months. By excess pressure, resulting from this foaming, fermentation will naturally stop around 7° alcohol, leaving residual sugars entirely from the harvest at optimal maturity. The deposit is removed by controlled pressure transfer and filtration in order to maintain the pressure naturally acquired during the foaming process.
Color : The colour will vary in depth, from very pale yellow to a deep gold hue.
Nose : Clairette de Die is a naturally sparkling white wine with a distinctive fruity taste and flowery aromas.
Mouth : When tasting, the drinker has the impression of biting into beautifully ripe fruit, an apricot or peach, and of smelling the scents of white flowers like white rose, dog rose or honeysuckle.
Recommendations : As an aperitif with duck's liver canopés, with dessert to accompany a fruit salad or apple, pear or strawberry charlotte.
Service temperature : Serve very chilled 6°C
Conservation : To preserve the full fruity character, Clairette de Die should be drunk within 2 years.
Acidity : o
Alcohol : 7.5%
