Domaine Tollot-Beaut Corton Rouge Grand Cru: A Burgundy Icon

Hailing from the prestigious Corton Grand Cru hill, this red Burgundy from Domaine Tollot-Beaut is a testament to Pinot Noir's potential for power and grace. The domaine, a pioneer in estate bottling since 1921, crafts a wine that is renowned for its structure, depth, and age-worthiness. This is Grand Cru quality from the Côte de Beaune, offering an unparalleled tasting experience for the discerning collector.

Tasting Notes (Benchmark Vintage)

• Appearance: A deep, saturated ruby hue, promising concentration and maturity.
• Aromatics: A profound bouquet of dark cherry, plum, and wild berry, underpinned by classic tertiary notes of damp earth, leather, and a subtle, integrated spiciness from barrel maturation.
• Taste: Full-bodied and authoritative, yet maintaining a remarkable silkiness. The tannins are firm but beautifully polished, leading to a complex, lingering finish that speaks volumes of the Corton terroir.

Food Matching & Serving

As a Grand Cru, this wine is best enjoyed with rich, flavourful dishes. Decant for a minimum of two hours to soften the structure, and serve at a cellar temperature of 16-18°C.

• Recommended Dishes: Traditional Roast Venison Haunch, Game Pie with a rich gravy, Pan-Roasted Duck Breast with a red wine reduction, Aged British Cheeses (Stilton, Mature Cheddar).
• Expert Recommendation: Pair with a classic French civet de sanglier or a simple, perfectly executed roasted lamb saddle.
