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 simply 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
“Pure black cherry and black currant fruit graces this smooth red, whose abundant flesh conceals the firm tannins, which peek through on the intense aftertaste. The lasting impression is of sweet fruit and a fine equilibrium.”
— Wine Spectator, May 2018
“The 2015 Corton Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet of pretty red cherry, strawberry, vanilla and orange peel aromas that gradually gain delineation. The palate is nicely poised and sorbet-fresh, hints of fig and fresh date infusing the bright red fruit with just a faint touch of liquorish on the persistent finish. This is a Corton that feels lively and, for want of a less banal word, delicious. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.”
— Vinous, Nov 2018
