Description
This is made from a total of two hectares, of which three-quarters were replanted with a very fine selection of Pinot Noir in 2017. This is a simply stunning wine in 2022. The nose is beautifully pure with a lifted, red berry and floral perfume. The palate has sweet, bright red berry fruit and limestone energy, while the tannins sit in fine layers on the palate.

About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Tollot-Beaut
The Tollot-Beaut family Domaine is based at Chorey-Les-Beaune, often thought of as a slightly old-fashioned backwater. Their vineyard holdings, however, extend to Beaune, Savigny, Aloxe-Corton and a tiny holding in the Corton Charlemagne vineyard.
