Clairette is a term that is applied to several white varieties in southern France: "Clairette Ronde" refers to Ugni Blanc; there is also a pink-skinned variety called Clairette Rose.

It is prized in such blends for its bright acidity and its aromatic properties.

Bourboulenc

A white grape that has long been cultivated all over Southern France. It is used in many different blends, but rarely predominates. Also known as Malvoisie in the Languedoc.
