Details and technical informations about Winery Thomas-Bassot's Grands-Échezeaux.
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.

Among Burgundy's finest reds: intense ruby, nose of red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry, raspberry), floral and spicy notes evolving to truffle and forest floor.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Reims Mountain
Between Épernay and Reims, a large limestone massif with varied soils and exposure where pinot noir reigns supreme. Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, etc., are equivalent to the Burgundian Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. There are also great Chardonnays, which are rarer (Mailly, Marmery, Trépail, Villers).
