Discover the grape variety: Calitor blanc
Simple, light whites for drinking young with a pale golden colour, an airy palate with low acidity, and discreet aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits and neutral notes. Productive and rustic, accessible easy-drinking profile. Almost extinct today, surviving in a few conservatory vineyards in Provence and Languedoc for its heritage value. White-berried mutation of Calitor noir, an ancient variety from south-eastern France and the Mediterranean rim.

Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
The word of the wine: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
