Grapes & Style

Clairette Blanche

Clairette Blanche is the pale-skinned form of Clairette, grown mainly in southern France. It’s a traditional Mediterranean white grape used in Rhône and Languedoc blends, sparkling wines, and increasingly as a varietal wine by growers interested in older local varieties.

In the vineyard, Clairette Blanche can lose acidity if picked too late, so the best wines come from sites and harvest decisions that preserve freshness. It can add body, subtle fruit, and herbal complexity without dominating a blend.

In the glass, Clairette Blanche often shows pear, lemon, fennel, white flowers, almond, and a lightly saline or bitter-herbal finish. It’s usually understated, but good examples have a lovely combination of texture, freshness, and southern French savor.
