Beaune Les Grèves 1er Cru bottle image

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.

Les Grèves is a premier cru located in the central section of the Beaune amphitheater where the wines tend to have more body, power, and potential for long aging. In Old French, “Grèves” referred to the sand and gravel found in this climat. Les Grèves combines this power with finesse and complexity making it among one of the very best premier crus in Beaune.

“A vibrant, succulent red, boasting cherry, plum, raspberry, spice and earth flavors, with an underlying mineral element as well. Shows silky and lively acidity that drives the long aftertaste, which is fruity and well-spiced. Delivers terrific harmony.”
