2023 Domaine Tollot-Beaut Corton Grand Cru

Description

The 2023 Domaine Tollot-Beaut Corton Grand Cru is a remarkable wine that epitomizes the balance of power and elegance from one of Burgundy’s most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Sourced from the ‘Les Combes’ climat in the Corton Grand Cru, this wine offers an exceptional expression of the unique terroir found on the lower slopes of the Corton hill, where the limestone and clay soils give the wine a distinct character.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby color, with enticing aromas of forest berries, dark cherries, and delicate floral notes of violets. On the palate, the wine is structured and full-bodied, with firm tannins that provide a solid backbone, complemented by vibrant acidity that enhances its freshness and balance. The wine’s fruit-forward character is supported by subtle earthy nuances and a touch of spice, which leads into a long, persistent finish.

Aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak barrels, the 2023 Corton Grand Cru has integrated its oak influences with the purity of the fruit, resulting in a wine with both depth and finesse. The vintage conditions in 2023 were exceptional, with a plentiful harvest and excellent maturation, producing a wine with powerful aromatics, balance, and great aging potential. This wine is perfect for pairing with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, and will continue to evolve beautifully with time.
