Wine Description

The Tollot family represents a long lineage of winegrowers dating back to the late 1880s when François Tollot began planting vineyards in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Today, cousins Nathalie, Jean-Paul, and Olivier Tollot are in charge. The wines of Tollot-Beaut are well-known for their serious but pleasing style across a range of appellations from Bourgogne to Grand Cru.

Chorey-lès-Beaune lies on the plains below the Cote d'Or escarpment with 336 acres almost exclusively planted with Pinot Noir. Initially, the Tollot family owned vines only in Chorey, but successive generations made small acquisitions in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, and Beaune for a current total of 60 acres.

Corton is a visually impressive Grand Cru, a freestanding hill that overlooks the rest of the Côte de Beaune to the south. Producers of Corton have the option of labeling the wine as simply “Corton,” or adding the name of one of 28 individual climats that make up this Corton Grand Cru. Corton-Bressandes is a well-known, east-facing climat with high limestone content.

Acclaim
“Plush and ripe, this red offers a mix of black cherry, blackberry, violet, vegetal and mineral flavors, starting out a bit slowly, then gathering steam as it builds to a long, saturated finish. Complex, expressive and just a little wild too.”
— Wine Spectator, Feb 2018
“The 2015 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a very high-toned, floral bouquet with bunches of pressed violets dominating the fruit. It feels a little overdone and lacks subtlety. The palate is medium-bodied and very showy and ostentatious; this is a Corton desperate to be loved. It is quite seductive, a femme fatale, yet I want more nuance and terroir expression here. Enjoyable but not cerebral. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.”
