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 as simply “Corton,” or adding the name of one of 28 individual climats that make up this Corton Grand Cru. Corton-Bressandes is a well-known, east-facing climat with high limestone content.

Acclaim
“This red combines graphite, sweet oak and cherry aromas with wild strawberry, cherry and currant fruit. Ripe and silky, this cruises to a lingering finish of berry and mineral. Displays fine intensity and length on the spicy finish.”
— Wine Spectator, May 2017
“Bright medium red, the darkest of this set of 2014s. Also the highest-pitched on the nose, offering scents of red cherry, raspberry, cranberry, spices and cocoa powder plus a minty topnote. Then silkier on the palate than the nose suggests, conveying very good savory concentration to its fine-grained flavors of red fruits, flowers and mint. Still a bit on the lean side for a young grand cru but with the finesse of the vintage. Finishes with lovely lingering spicy perfume.”
— Stephen Tanzer, Mar 2017
