Héritage An 77 AOP Clairette du Languedoc Adissan 2021 – Set of 6 x 75cl bottles white wine

Simply as an aperitif with southern tapas, this cuvée will also pair wonderfully with Mediterranean fish, shellfish and fresh cheeses. It will come into its own with a scallop carpaccio or flambéed crayfish.

The harvest of this ancestral and iconic grape variety from the South of France takes place at the end of the night, when temperatures are at their coolest, in order to prevent any oxidation and to preserve the quality of these aromatic precursors. Harvesting generally takes place from the beginning to the end of September, following an extensive plot-by-plot selection process that allows the qualitative potential of each vine parcel to be assessed. The grapes are transported quickly to the press. Only the finest first-run juices are selected. After clarification, fermentation takes place naturally at a controlled temperature between 16°C and 18°C. The wine thus obtained is aged in vat for several months with lees stirring in order to achieve a natural smoothness and a creamy mouthfeel. Once the ageing is complete, the blending and bottling stages can then take place.

The colour is clear and bright with a pale yellow hue and green highlights in its youth. The aromas of this cuvée are very representative of the typicity of the Clairette grape variety: in its youth one can appreciate floral aromas, yellow fruits (pineapple, exotic fruits, citrus…); with age one can appreciate mineral notes, dried fruits and sometimes a slightly honeyed character. The attack on the palate is refreshing and digestible; the mid-palate is smooth and flavourful.
