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.

The village of Aloxe-Corton sits at the foot of the Corton hill and is known for giving good-value red Burgundy that performs above its village-level status. A good Aloxe-Corton (pronounced Ahh-losse) will show some of the same structure, weight, and complexity found on the Grand Cru above.

“On the nose, the wine entices with lush silky black and red fruit and a grandiose basket of dried thyme. The dark-fruited palate is concentrated in blackberry, black cherry and oak spice. The body and tannins are just shy of high and the alcohol is noticeably hot but well integrated.” — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023

"The 2020 Aloxe-Corton Village offers black plum and cranberry scents on the tighty-wound bouquet, touches of peony arising with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. Not complex, but there is good body and depth with satisfying freshness on the finish."
— Vinous, Dec 2021
