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 as simply “Corton,” or adding the name of one of 28 individual climats that make up this Corton Grand Cru. Corton-Bressandes is a well-known, east-facing climat with high limestone content.

Acclaim
Dark yet smooth and fluid rather than brooding, this red boasts black cherry, blackberry and black currant aromas and flavors. There's a grain to its tannins, yet overall this is harmonious and echoes the fruit on the long aftertaste, adding iron and oak spice accents. — Wine Spectator, May 2025
“A more elegant nose is comprised by notes of ripe red berries, kirsch, spice, violet and a hint of exotic tea. The rich, delicious and vibrant large-bodied flavors are quite generously proportioned while displaying slightly less evident minerality on the lingering if slightly warm finale. This may of course change over time but today the Corton is a bit more interesting, which is usually not the case chez Tollot. We will of course see but for today, the Corton would appear to have more potential.” — Burghound, Apr 2024
