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
“The 2001 Corton Grand Cru from Domaine Tollot-Beaut is drinking beautifully, revealing a vibrant ruby-garnet hue and a sweet bouquet of dried cherry, loamy soil, spice and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and deep at the core, with real concentration and grand cru dimension, and a long, sapid finish. At almost seventeen years of age, this wine is a persuasive argument for looking more closely at this historic domaine in Chorey-lès-Beaune.”
