Chorey-Les-Beaune is famous for producing hearty, spiced, red Burgundies with a good deal of muscle and herbal-tinged, woodland berry fruit. Domaine Tollot-Beaut takes Chorey's rustic side and gives it a bit of polish, endowing it with a lovely sheen of velvety texture and sophistication. Domaine Tollot-Beaut's Chorey-Lès-Beaune has a mineral-driven freshness that nicely complements the polish, and all of the lavish fruit that the estate's thoughtful winemaking lends. The abundance of spicy crushed raspberry fruit, perfect balance on the palate and a fresh, vibrant finish makes this wine a joy to drink now but it will certainly repay cellaring if you can keep your hands off it! 

Domaine Tollot-Beaut began in was started in 1880 by François Tollot. The fifth generation of the family, Nathalie Tollot now owns and operates 24 hectares of vines spread over a number of different sites around Burgundy. The Pinot Noir grapes used for this expression come from Chorey-lès-Beaune, which lies on the plains below the Cote d'Or escarpment. After harvesting and fermentation, the liquid was aged for an additional 16 months in French oak barrels. This area is renowned for its red wine production, and this vintage is certainly a shining example of the quality coming from Tollot-Beaut. They use no fertilisers, they keep yields low and they harvest by hand.
