CHATEAU LAMOTHE CLAIRET WINEMAKING Clairet is produced by taking off 15% of the juice from a vat of red wine after it has been left on the skins for 24 to 48 hours. The juice is then cold fermented. Cabernet Sauvignon: 50 % Merlot: 50 % TASTING NOTES Deeper in colour than a traditional rosé, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot contribute a great deal of fruitiness (strawberry and cherry). Long and rich on the pallet. Can be aged 2 / 3 years. Best enjoyed chilled, as an aperitif, or with grilled meats. Clairet is thought of as a summer wine but it is very pleasant all times of the year, especially as an accompaniment to simple meals.
