Domaine Tollot Beaut Beaune Greves 1er Cru 2021 750ml

Winemaker Description

Les Grves is voluptuous and structured with aromas and flavors of bright red fruit and mineral notes. The flavor is intense and powerful but is delivered on the palate with finesse. Aging in 30% new Burgundian pice brings notes of vanilla and spice. The vines were planted between 1969 and 1987.

Red Burgundy might be the worlds most flexible food wine. The wines high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and minimal tannins make it very food-friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.

Expert Reviews

93 PointsVinous |The 2021 Beaune Les Grves 1er Cru, picked on the first day of picking, has slightly darker fruit than the Clos du Roi, but there is still a sense of delineation and transparency that makes it very alluring. The palate is medium-bodied with dark cherries, bergamot and bay leaf. It’s nicely structured with a bit of sinew on the finish. This is very promising. (2021).

92 PointsJasper Morris |Slightly paler in colour, mid crimson. A more reticent bouquet with some substance behind, one suspects. Good intensity here, all in fresh red fruit, acidity adds to the energy and there is enough fruit concentration to sit well with the oak. Agreeably persistent. Drink from 2025-2030. (2021).
