Claret is traditionally known as red wine from Bordeaux, mainly used in the UK to refer to older red Bordeaux styles. Cafe Francois' own-label claret presents a blend of Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, aimed at embodying elegant cafe culture. The term 'Clairet' currently designates a specific, regulated style of dark rose from Bordeaux, which is richer and more structured than typical roses. Cafe Francois' Clairet is intended for a pleasurable drinking experience, suggesting a stylish enjoyment of wine in a refined atmosphere. Kieran Andrews also recommends several other Clairet options for home consumption.
Cafe Francois’ own-label claret is light, super smooth, enjoyable when chilled, and embodies cafe culture with its elegant, refreshing qualities. It’s designed to evoke the relaxed atmosphere of enjoying wine on a sunny terrace.
Historically, claret referred to lighter and paler red Bordeaux wines, which contrasted with today's bold reds. Clairet has emerged as a regulated style of dark rose from Bordeaux, characterized by its deeper structure and intensity.
