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.

Beaune Clos du Roi (whose name refers to King Louis XI who appropriated this vineyard upon the death of Charles the Bold, the last Duke of Burgundy) is a premier cru lying in the northern section of the Beaune amphitheater where the wines tend to be fresher and finer than wines from the southern section.

Acclaim
“The 2017 Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru has a generous, delineated bouquet of dark cherries, mulberry and light wild heather scents, opening nicely in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant, delivering plenty of concentration. Very Volnay-like, with a pure, grippy finish, and quite modern in style; nevertheless, this has great potential.”
— Vinous, Jan 2022
“The 2017 Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet at first, gradually unfolding to reveal blackberry, raspberry preserve and light rose petal aromas. There is a touch of cold steel here. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, and shows plenty of rondeur on the entry. Juicy and almost nubile, this is a Clos du Roi that will be difficult to resist in its youth.” (88-91 points)
