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
“Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, wild strawberries and white peppercorn linger on the nose, as the palate is soft with gentle dark fruit, spice and clay-like minerality. Aeration evolves the wine into liquid red silk with an elegant verve of spice.” — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023
“Once again, the nose is very ripe while stopping just short of being over the top with its combination of poached plum, spice, leather and warm earth. The succulent, round and seductively textured flavors possess an opulent mid- palate, indeed they’re almost thick, before terminating in a lingering if noticeably warm finale. This is an interesting wine in several respects though I confess that it’s not my particular stylistic preference.”
— Burghound, Apr 2022
