Muscat à petits grains from Die — the dominant aromatic white variety of the Clairette de Die AOC in the Drôme valley, on limestone and marl soils at altitudes of 300-600m — is the base of Clairette de Die Tradition, a sparkling wine obtained by the Diétoise method (prise de mousse in bottle on residual grape sugars).
