Clairette is a light and fragrant grape variety, loved for its ability to bring finesse to the glass. Often grown in France, it’s best known for producing wines that feel fresh, delicate and gently aromatic rather than heavy or intense. If you enjoy subtle flavours, Clairette is a wonderful choice, with notes that can range from pear and white peach to citrus blossom and soft herbal hints.

In the vineyard, Clairette grapes tend to be prized for maintaining balance, which is why they’re frequently used in blends as well as for straightforward, characterful bottleneck styles. Depending on how the wine is made, you might find a crisp, zesty profile that works beautifully with coastal dishes, or a slightly rounder texture that pairs nicely with salads, poultry and lighter cheeses.

For anyone exploring the wider world of grapes, Clairette offers a friendly introduction to aromatics without overwhelming the palate. Browse the range to discover different styles and winemaking approaches, and choose the one that matches your mood, whether you’re planning a relaxed lunch or a calm evening in.
