Crémant de Die

Crémant de Die is a sparkling white wine from the Clairette de Die appelation in the Rhône Valley of France. It is a prestige dry, natural sparkling wine of apple and green fruit flavors and fragrance and is vinified by the traditional method of a first fermentation in the vat followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Originally produced from 100% Clairette, Aligoté and Muscat are now included. It is usually drunk as an aperitif but it can equally accompany a meal. At 7% or 8 % ABV, it contains less alcohol then most sparkling wines.
