Goedhuis, December 2022
From the lower slopes of the hillside of Beaune, this is typically more forward and open than the Grèves. It shows off the ripeness of its fruit, loganberry and Morello cherry. A gracious and giving wine, the tannins are silky in nature, and the finish has sweetness and class.

Neal Martin, November 2022, Score: 91-93
The 2021 Beaune Clos de Roi 1er Cru, the first cuvée to be picked on 16 September, has a very endearing bouquet made of pure, quite floral, red fruit that conveys real buoyancy. Frame by fine tannins, the palate is harmonious and pure with a piquant finish. This is suave, elegant and a great success in a difficult vintage. Drink 2024-2036

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 88-90
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.

The wines of Tollot-Beaut are some of the best we taste every vintage. Uncomplicated, pure and fresh, they epitomize everything that we love about wines from the Côte de Beaune.

The wines of Tollot-Beaut are some of the best we taste every vintage. Uncomplicated, pure and fresh, they epitomize everything that we love about wines from the Côte de Beaune. In addition, their fleshiness and approachability makes them perfect for cynics who claim that Burgundy is not their cup of tea. The 22-hectare domaine has been family-owned for years. Today, the young, friendly and exceptionally bright Nathalie Tollot manages the domaine with her cousins. The wines are vinified fairly traditionally. About 40% of the crop is de-stemmed, though this varies depending on vintage. The wines are fermented in open-top wooden vats before being aged in oak barrels that are 10-50% new. Very lightly fined and filtered before bottling, the resulting wines are often opulent with noticeable density, always clean and superbly pure. Just wonderful Burgundy.Read less

Region
Beaune
The viticultural capital of Burgundy, Beaune was the headquarters to the Duchy in the 13th century and is now home to many winemakers and négociants. The appellation of Beaune includes both reds and white wines, though the quantity of red is significantly greater. The soils are predominantly sandier than either those to the north in Aloxe Corton or those to the south in Volnay or Pommard, producing wines that are supple and early drinking in nature. Similar to other surrounding Côte de Beaune appellations, there are no grand crus, but it does offer 42 premier cru sites, some of which are exceptional. These include Les Grèves, Les Teurons and Les Vignes Franches.
