Sitting on 24ha around the north of Beaune, Domaine Tollot-Beaut is run by 5th generation Nathalie Tollot and her extended family. Their focus is very much on the vines, something that is directly translated into the bottle. The clarity of fruit and energy of the wines stands out from other domaines in the area. Despite soaring prices in Burgundy, Nathalie keeps her prices at a reasonable level. These are proper ‘drinking’ Burgundies, to be enjoyed without guilt or worry! The use of oak is very much in the background, purity and freshness to the fore. Their signature monopole ‘La Pièce du Chapitre’ is defined, crunchy and deliciously unctuous in riper vintages. The Grand Crus offer outstanding value for the purity of fruit and ageing potential.
Viticulture >
The 24 hectare estate is spread across 30 separate parcels. Its base is in Chorey-lès-Beaune but it also has parcels in Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Corton Grand Cru. The domaine adopts a minimal intervention approach to their viticulture with light ploughings used to suppress weeds and no fertilisers are employed. Harvesting is done by hand. The climate is continental with warm summers and cold winters. Tollot-Beaut own 1.10 hectares of the Beaune `Clos du Roi` vineyard which is in the northern part of the Beaune appellation, bordering Savigny-les-Beaune. The plot sits low on the slope and is planted with Pinot Noir vines that were established in 1978, 1982 and 1987 on clay/limestone soils. Harvesting is done by hand.
