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 Lavières is named after a flat piece of stone called “lave.” This is one of Savigny’s best premier crus despite its northeastern exposure. Savigny sits in a small east-west valley perpendicular to the côte. Vineyards on the Beaune side tend to give more richness and concentration whereas vineyards on the Pernand side (where Les Lavières is located) tend towards delicacy and perfume.

Acclaim
“An open, fluid red, this delivers black cherry, blackberry, earth and floral flavors, while a firm base of tannins lends support. Though not a beefy red, this has more of a muscular feel.”
— Wine Spectator, Apr 2022
“There is just enough reduction present to overshadow what is clearly ripe fruit. The notably finer middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the youthfully austere finale. This refined and punchy effort should reward mid-term cellaring"
— Burghound, Apr 2021
