Details and technical informations about Winery Virgile Portier's Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Blanchots'.
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.

The wine region of Chablis Grand Cru 'Blanchot'
12. 7-ha Grand Cru at the eastern end of the Chablis hill, east/south-east facing: 100% Chardonnay on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone studded with fossil oysters. Steep, sheltered slopes extend ripening for late harvest. Atypical profile blending cool-terroir freshness with warm-terroir depth — pale gold, citrus, white fruit, flowers and iodine on the nose.
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: Aromatic
Character of a wine that is particularly expressive and rich in aromas. Some grape varieties, such as Gewurztraminer or Muscat, produce very aromatic wines.
