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.

Aloxe-Corton Les Vercots 1er Cru is a special wine for Tollot-Beaut. Through 2012, this wine was produced from 50% old vines with some of the plantings dating to before WWII. Les Vercots is now produced from a ten-year-old sélection massale on deep soil with a high limestone content. The climat sits mid-slope on the Corton hill and faces due south.

Acclaim
“Though delicate, with red fruit flavors of strawberry, cherry and currant, plus floral, vegetal and spice notes, this is intense and focused. A firm underpinning of acidity, tannins and stone lend austerity now, but this should have the ability to age.”
