Vineyard
The Clairette de Die is located in the sunny area of the Drôme Valley (Rhône), nestled in the Vercors mountains between the Alps and Provence. The AOC dates back to 1942. The vineyards are made of small blocks which heights can reach up to 700 meters high on clay and limestone soils.
The Desse mountain protects the specific plot of vineyard which this current Biodynamic cuvée comes from, in a very well preserved and suited environment. Daniel Rolland and his son David take an utmost care of their vineyards using specific local and natural preparations, thus contributing to an harmonious balance between the vineyard and its direct environment.
