The Legacy of Clãr-ay
Originally famous in the Middle Ages, French Clairet was a favorite among the English elite.
It gained new life in the 1950s when Roger Amiel revived the wine in the small town of Quinsac, near Saint-Emilion. His creation found commercial success during the '60s and '70s. Now, his great granddaughter Mélodie carries on the family torch, reintroducing this timeless yet avant-garde wine to the modern world.
Our Song
Our first performance of "Quand Je Bois Du Vin Clairet" by local artist Reggie Bennet has arrived!
Each year, the winery will donate a portion of its proceeds to support local artists that are selected to perform their own rendition of this classic French tune.
Did you know?
On Saint Catherine's Day (Nov 25th) in Quinsac, France, a statue of a face of Bacchus, the God of Wine, drips nonstop Clãr-ay wine from it's mouth! This occurs for the entire day, giving locals a chance to fill their glasses with wine! The statue is accompanied by a note from a French poet detailing the tradition.
