About Domaine Tollot-Beaut
Domaine Tollot-Beaut is arguably the best-known estate in Chorey-lès-Beaune; indeed the cellars sit on Rue Alexandre Tollot in the village and for many “Tollot-Beaut” and “Chorey” are practically synonymous. It is a sign of their broad appeal, excellent value and food-friendly character that these wines are seen with incredible frequency on the wine lists of Beaune’s many restaurants and brasseries.
Domaine Tollot-Beaut has always been a forward-thinking domaine, and they have been estate-bottling their wines for nearly a century now. Under the guidance of the charming Nathalie Tollot, and with assistance from cousins Olivier and Jean-Paul, quality is constantly increasing year on year, with an optical sorting machine having been introduced and the oak regime refined to give a more harmonious integration in the wines.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-89)Deep purple with an exotic exuberant nose, not too cooked. Lovely fresh red fruit despite the more exotic style, floral peony notes, ripe raspberries, relatively dancing, and with good length. Drink from 2025-2038. Tasted: October 2023. |

Jancis Robinson (16.5)Earthy nose. Then sweet, charming fruit. Really, what’s not to like if you’re prepared to buy an unfashionable appellation? |

Burghound (92)This is quite densely fruited with an unusually expressive mélange of violet, plum, red and black currant, tea and plenty of earth elements. There is very fine volume and plenty of power to the reasonably well-detailed and muscular flavors that delivers outstanding length on the youthfully austere and saline suffused finish. While I envision that markedly more depth will develop there is enough underlying material present that if it does then my predicted score may very well be too conservative as this is very good. Drink: 2023+ |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Corton Grand Cru comes from the Les Combes climat toward the bottom of the slope. It has a floral bouquet with pressed rose petal aromas flanking the raspberry, strawberry and vanilla aromas. The palate is clean and precise on the entry, displaying good acidity, and quite linear in style, with a strict, tensile finish that is very promising. One to watch once in bottle. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-93)Rich purple, perhaps not quite so dense. Ripe strawberry with some floral rose notes in a concentrated register, then an explosion of blackcurrant, blackberry and some fresher red berry notes as well on the palate, soft and liquid, though the alcohol is showing, at 15%. Tasted: October 2021 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an even heavier reduction than David Croix's "C.C." and this seems more fixed despite transferring between glasses. The palate is better with admirable weight and depth. The reduction is still more pronounced than I would prefer, though it is redeemed by a lovely spiciness on the admittedly oaky finish plus there is plenty of vigour and length. How this Corton-Charlemagne will play out depends on what happens to that reduction... it could go either way, hence the question mark against my score. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |
