Wine description
Experience history with Héritage An 77 Clairette du Languedoc 2021 75cl. Discover this ancestral grape variety present since Antiquity, whose name refers to the former owner of a luxurious villa. Pliny the Elder, in his work "Natural History", mentions this white wine "Mustum"! Taste this unique aroma born from clay-limestone soils and gravel. Live the adventure!
Food & Wine pairings suggested by our chef
Simply as an aperitif with southern-style tapas, this cuvée will also pair wonderfully with Mediterranean fish, shellfish and fresh cheeses. It will truly shine alongside a scallop carpaccio or flambéed crayfish.
Winemaking and ageing
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; this is to prevent any oxidation and to preserve the quality of these aromatic precursors.
The harvest generally takes place from the beginning to the end of September, following an extensive plot-by-plot selection that allows the qualitative potential of each vine plot 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 vats for a few months with lees stirring in order to achieve a natural smoothness and a creamy mouthfeel. Once the ageing is complete, the blending and bottling stage can then take place.
Tasting note
The robe is clear and bright with a pale
yellow colour 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 slightly
honeyed notes. The attack on the palate is refreshing,
digestible; the mid-palate is
smooth and flavourful.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature

Your questions about our wines
Each product page provides a food and wine pairing suggestion suited to the cuvée. Our online tasting assistant can also advise you based on your menu.
The ageing potential depends on the cuvée and vintage — it is specified in this wine's technical sheet. In general, our wines for ageing and fine wines can be kept for more than 10 years, or even over 100 years for our fortified sweet wines, whilst our lighter cuvées, intended to be enjoyed young, are best appreciated within 2 to 3 years of purchase.
The alcohol content (% vol.) varies by cuvée and vintage; it is listed in the product’s technical data sheet, below the description.
The majority of our red, white and rosé wines are dry. Our natural sweet wines (Rivesaltes, Maury...) and certain crémants are sweet or semi-dry. The style (dry/sweet) of this cuvée is specified in its description.
The grape varieties, appellation and terroir of origin are indicated in this product’s technical data sheet.
Like almost all wines, our cuvées contain sulphites (naturally present during fermentation, sometimes added in small quantities as a preservative). Details (“no added sulphites”, level, etc.) are specified on this product’s technical data sheet and on the back label.
