Located on the northern, steeper and cooler part of the Clavin, the white grapes get very comfortables in marlstone and limestone soils.
An attractive, scented and comforting white, showing dried pears, sliced apples, herbs, fennel and some dried lemons on the nose. This has medium body and volume on the palate. Delicious anise character to the bitter almonds, wild herbs and aromatic finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
Critical Acclaim
92 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2023 Côtes Du Rhône Clavin Blanc is terrific, with a rich, plush, opulent style in its buttered pear, toasted bread, and honeyed white flower notes. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, and opulent, this ripe, sexy, satisfying effort will shine on the dinner table.

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Crafted from Clairette and Bourboulenc, the 2023 Cotes du Rhone Lieu Dit Clavin Blanc evokes aromas of blanched almonds, white flowers, confit citron, spring flowers and ripe orchard fruits. Moderately weighted and juicy, it’s round and sappy with a delicate, mouthwatering finish. Despite its humble origins, it possesses qualities that could rival some white wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
90 Wine Spectator
Round and juicy, with a creamy display of melon and lemon backed up with bitter flinty mineral and pithy citrus rind notes. Offers a hint of shortbread on the full, mouthcoating finish, which shows definition and energy. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Roussanne.
