Winemaker's Note
Claire-Voie means clerestory - our ode to light. It underlines the careful crafting, patience, and precision required to produce such an exquisite wine of lightness and freshness.

Tasting Notes
Claire-Voie 2025 is made with grapes cultivated with respect for the environment and local biodiversity. The 2025 vintage is a luminous rose that continues to show a brilliant pale pink hue, with fresh aromas of red berries layered with delicate citrus notes. The palate is bright and tangy, driven by lively acidity and a refined texture that carries through to a long, clean finish, highlighting the care and precision of the winemaking. Enjoy as an aperitif or with grilled seafood or meats.

Estate
Nestled in the heart of Provence, Chateau Paradis lives up to its name as a hidden paradise of lyrical landscapes and seductive wines. The estate of Chateau Paradis totals 160 hectares, 80 of which are dedicated to vineyards. Within these 80 hectares is an exceptional parcel of approximately 30-year-old vines. Because of their age, these vines can reach deep into a rich clay-limestone terroir, 650 feet above sea level.

Terroir
Located on the north face of the Trevaresse Mountain in front of the Durance River, the vines benefit from Mistral winds coming from the Rhone Valley and the cool climate that follows the river. Clay imparts power and aromatics to the wine, while the chalky limestone rounds it out, bringing fruit notes and a nice minerality.
