Domaine Tollot-Beaut

Domaine Tollot-Beaut was one of the first domaine to bottle its own wines back in 1921 when most growers simply sold their wines to the local negociants, and it has retained its ground breaking ethos to the present day. Under the meticulous control of Natalie Tollot, 5th generation, the domaine currently comprises some 24 hectares of vines, spread over a number of different sites in Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Corton including small holdings in premiers and grands crus. Each wine produced is respectful of its terroir and perfectly represents the characteristics of the appellation.

A really sexy, red currant filled bouquet, perfumed and fragrant, this is always a highlight wine, despite the relatively uncelebrated appellation. The fruit is jammy and concentrated, overt and lush, with a graceful lick of acidity providing an excellent balance. Absolutely delicious. This is classic Chorey, but also classic Tollot-Beaut!

We love to drink this with braised neck of lamb with toasted barley.
