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.

Less than 4% of Chorey-lès-Beaune is planted to Chardonnay. Tollot-Beaut has a small plot within the village which is classed as Bourgogne Blanc with vines that were planted in 1956, 1962, 1986, and 2001. The wine is fermented in tank and spends a year in barrel for a year before bottling.

Acclaim
“The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc, taken from vat, has an attractive floral bouquet of light almond and lime flower aromas. The palate is rounded on the entry, with lovely yellow fruit toward the finish. Very fine.” (87-89 points)
— Vinous, Jan 2019
“Creamy, generous fruit with melon and peach flavour. Far fruitier than many a Bourgogne – thanks to the vintage, no doubt, but there is clearly good quality raw material in here, which shows on the length too.” (16.5 out of 20 points)
— Jancis Robinson, Jan 2019
