Domaine Tollot-Beaut, Beaune-Grèves, Premier Cru 2017

“Silky, with plum, black cherry, leather and sandalwood flavors, this is open and inviting. Balanced and juicy, featuring a long, saturated finish that leaves spice and sweet fruit notes. Best from 2022 through 2038.”-93WS

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. His son, Alexandre Tollot, continued in his father’s footsteps and married Aurélie Beaut. In 1921, Tollot-Beaut became one of the first to bottle their wines under the domaine and started exporting their wines to the U.S. shortly thereafter. 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.
