La Clape falls under the Coteaux du Languedoc AOC. Indeed it is only one of two whites that does. The majority grape for the white is Bourboulenc giving it a real depth of flavour and benefits from a few years aging. This small area squeezed as it is between the Corbieres and the Coteaux main producers still manages to make some much sought after wines. Full bodied reds, slightly more costly whites and some light and enjoyable rose perfect to go with a seafood lunch or as a refreshing afternoon tipple on a sunny terrace.

Look out particularly for the following Labels:

Château de Complazens, Château Moutjan, Château Pech-Céleyran, Château Pech Rédon, Domaine de la Rivière-le-Haut, Château de Ricardelle de la Clape, Château Rouquette-sur-Mer, Domaine de Terre Megre, Domaine de Vires.
