Chante-Clair 2018
Vin de France
Chante-Clair is our French ‘house red’ that ensures a house full of delighted guests. We asked southern French supremo Hervé Sabardeil to create it, because no one else wields quite so much clout with growers there. Deliciously easy and berry rich.

As the retro label suggests, Chante-Clair is as proudly and authentically French as Asterix, Gauloises and the café accordion – yet it also embraces the best of modern winemaking. The wine’s creator, Parker praised winemaker Hervé Sabardeil, approaches Chante-Clair as a patriotic labour of love. He selects the best grapes he can find, from vineyards and growers he knows and trusts – all old friends across the Languedoc region. Then, having fermented each parcel separately, he assembles the parts to create the perfect balance of ripe, lip-smacking fruit and heady aromas. So come on Francophiles, relive those halcyon holidays with a bottle of Chante-Clair! Spot on with French bistro fare: confit de canard, cassoulet, or a hearty pot-au-feu.
