Domaine Tollot-Beaut Bourgogne Rouge 2017

Domaine Tollot-Beaut Bourgogne Rouge 2017, which sees around 25% new oak, has a delightful, fresh strawberry and red plum scented bouquet, the wood just giving it a little lift. The palate is sweet and chewy on the entry with sappy cranberry and strawberry fruit, leading to a punchy finish.

For us, this Domaine Tollot-Beaut Bourgogne Rouge exudes all of the flavours and style that true Burgundian Pinot Noir should have. It will reward a year or two of cellaring for the patient but, for those of you who lack such Herculean willpower, it's also very pleasant to drink now.
