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.

Les Grèves is a premier cru located in the central section of the Beaune amphitheater where the wines tend to have more body, power, and potential for long aging. In Old French, “Grèves” referred to the sand and gravel found in this climat. Les Grèves combines this power with finesse and complexity making it among one of the very best premier crus in Beaune.

Acclaim
“Strawberry and raspberry aromas and flavors mingle with stony mineral elements in this pure, elegant red, which is well-structured, with a long, linear finish that echoes fruit and mineral notes. Tender and tough.”
— Wine & Spirits, May 2018
“A spicy style, with black cherry and blueberry flavors tinged by sweet oak, earth and floral notes. Bright, with forward fruit offset by dusty tannins on the lingering finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Mar 2018
