If somebody asked us “what should Pinot Noir taste like?” without doubt we would direct them to a bottle from Tollot-Beaut. The gloriously ripe fruit combines with a spice on the palate with liquorice overtones that finish with a long and complex aftertaste. Simply perfect!

Tollot-Beaut is a family domaine, based in Chorey-les-Beaune, which has been making wines since the 1880's. Today they offer a full range, from simple AOC up to Grand Cru and at every level their wines offer consistently good value for money. Traditional Burgundian vinification ensures red wines of a good colour and bouquet, and with an admirable capacity for ageing.

Aloxe Corton is quite a rustic appellation that always benefits from time in bottle. This wine is now perfect for drinking and the tannins have softened to melt in with the wonderful developed fruit aromas along with the notes of undergrowth and wet dog!

Although this is not a 1er Cru vineyard it consistently makes delicious wines under the direction of this Domaine. Deliciously fruity with a fine spice and now more complex secondary flavours coming from its ageing in bottle. Ideal to drink now and especially good with strong soft cheeses.

This monopole (solely owned) of the Tollot-Beaut Domaine is consistently one of our favourite red Burgundies. From its open red fruit nose in youth it will develop superbly over the coming years to be a bottle that will always grace any table. Fantastic value for its quality.
