“Clairet” is a term that refers to a red wine that is light in body and color. It derives from vin claret in Old French, a term of respect; this suggests that Bordeaux achieved a reputation for limpidity before other wines. ROSÉ Rich, dark rosé or failed, feeble red? The best examples of this medium-dry, mediumbodied wine come from the village of Quinsac in the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux.
