2021 Domaine Tollot Beaut Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Lavieres", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
“Les Lavières” is a Premier Cru site in Savigny-lès-Beaune named for its stony, shallow soils layered with flat limestone slabs (lavières), which impart a signature linearity and tension to the wines. Domaine Tollot-Beaut, based in Chorey-lès-Beaune, farms this parcel with lutte raisonnée practices—prioritizing sustainability while allowing measured treatments as needed. The vineyard, planted with old-vine Pinot Noir, sits on a gentle slope with optimal drainage and east-facing exposure.
The 2021 vintage—a cooler, more classical year in Burgundy—offered wines of moderate alcohol, pure fruit, and firm structure. Fermentation is carried out with partial whole clusters (depending on the vintage), followed by aging in French oak barrels, approximately 25–30% new, for about 16 months. The wine captures red berry fruit, crushed rock minerality, and gentle spice, all framed by fine-grained tannins and a lifted, refreshing acidity.
This wine pairs beautifully with duck confit, roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses like Époisses or Comté. Though approachable young with a decant, it will reward cellaring over the next 8–12 years.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Tollot-Beaut is a historic family estate with deep roots in the Côte de Beaune, dating back to the 1880s. Based in Chorey-lès-Beaune, the domaine is now led by fifth-generation winemaker Nathalie Tollot, who upholds the family’s reputation for producing elegant, site-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from some of the region’s top appellations.
Farming is conducted according to lutte raisonnée principles, with meticulous vineyard work and a restrained touch in the cellar. The hallmark of Tollot-Beaut’s style is purity—of fruit, place, and expression. Wines are vinified with native yeasts, minimal intervention, and thoughtful use of oak, emphasizing balance over power. Their bottlings from Savigny-lès-Beaune, especially “Les Lavières,” are prized for their precision and age-worthiness, making them a staple among Burgundy collectors and classicists alike.
