"Jasper Morris MW 88-90 Points
Crimson to purple in colour. The nose suggests ripe fruit or flowers, roses perhaps. A slightly darker fruit follows, and there is plenty of it. Light on its feet, poised, then a very oaky finish (but in Tollot-Beaut pure cream style) Drink from 2025-2028"
Domaine Tollot-Beaut has sat modestly in the centre of Chorey-Lès-Beaune since it was set up by the Tollot family in the 1930s. Nathalie Tollot is the most welcoming of hosts and her wines are among the most consistent in Burgundy.The wines are beautifully open in style with rich, generous fruit flavours and judicious use of new oak. They are poised wines with great depth and elegance.
Beaune Clos du Roi (the name references Louis XI who once owned this vineyard) is a 1er cru lying in the north of the Beaune region where the wines tend to be fresher and finer. Clos du Roi combines freshness with intensity and concentration thanks to its distinctive brown limestone soils.
In 2021 the Domaine produced only 40% of a normal crop, however Nathalie is delighted with the quality and the elegant style of the vintage.
