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 just as “Corton,” or adding the name of one of 28 individual climats that make up this Corton Grand Cru (e.g., Corton- Bressandes). Tollot-Beaut’s “Corton” comes from Les Combes, a small climat that faces directly south. The vines were planted between 1930 and 2008.

Acclaim
“Reticent aromas of ripe dark berries, warm earth, forest floor and smoked game are trimmed in admirably subtle wood. There is outstanding volume and richness to the big-bodied and markedly stony flavors that are equally compact, powerful and unapologetically built-to-age on the austere finale. This is a classic Corton with all that implies.” — Burghound, Apr 2024
“The 2022 Corton Grand Cru comes from the lieu-dit of Les Combes, though it is not written on the label. It has a perfumed nose with redcurrant and black cherry fruit, hints of dried violet petals and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins. The oak here is very well integrated, and the finish is composed and refined. Excellent.” — Vinous, Jan 2024
