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.

The village of Aloxe-Corton sits at the foot of the Corton hill and is known for giving good-value red Burgundy that performs above its village-level status. A good Aloxe-Corton (pronounced Ahh-losse) will show some of the same structure, weight, and complexity found on the Grand Cru above.

“Silky and expressive, with cherry, strawberry, floral and black pepper aromas and flavors wrapped around a solid structure. Dense tannins catch up in the end, but overall this is balanced and fine.”
— Wine Spectator, May 2020

“The 2017 Aloxe-Corton Village is a blend of four vineyards – Les Cras, Cras Poussuets, Les Boutiers and Les Petits Vercots – that comprise two hectares. It has a lifted, slightly menthol-tinged bouquet that opens nicely in the glass, though it remains quite simple compared to the 2016 or 2015, for example. The palate is fresh and lively on the entry, offering sweet, ripe tannin, plenty of juicy red fruit and a slightly predictable yet still enjoyable finish.” 86-88 points
