Encyclopedic overview
Die ( French: [di] ; Vivaro-Alpine: Diá [djɔ]; Arpitan: Dia [dja]) is a commune, a former episcopal see, and a subprefecture of the Drôme department in southeastern France. The region around Die is known as the Diois [fr] (Vivaro-Alpine: Diés; Arpitan: Diês).
Die is perhaps best known for its sparkling wine Clairette de Die. It was a county in the High Middle Ages and was once the see of a Roman Catholic diocese with its church serving as a cathedral . Die has several historic monuments encircled by Gallo-Roman city walls.
