Bourgogne Tollot-Beaut & Fils 1998

Domaine Tollot-Beaut was founded in 1880 by François Tollot in Chorey-lès-Beaune, a small commune situated between Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. Today, it is recognized as one of the most highly regarded smaller family estates in Burgundy. A significant historical milestone for the estate occurred in 1921 when Tollot-Beaut became one of the first producers in the region to bottle their own wines, rather than selling them as grapes or in barrels to négociants. This pioneering decision was made decades before the practice became widespread in Burgundy. The estate is currently managed by the fifth generation of the family, cousins Nathalie, Olivier, and Jean-Paul Tollot, who oversee 24 hectares of vineyards spread across Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, and Aloxe-Corton.The wine is classified under the Bourgogne AOC, the foundational regional appellation established in 1937 that covers the extensive wine region of eastern and central France. The viticultural landscape of Burgundy was originally shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the countless terroirs, creating a finely woven system of climats. The region features a predominantly continental climate and soils dominated by a classic mixture of clay and limestone. The 1998 vintage from this historic area achieved a score of 87 points and is characterized as ready to drink, balanced, and solid.Produced and bottled directly at the domaine, this 1998 Appellation Bourgogne Contrôlée reflects the estate's long-standing tradition of independent production. The wine is crafted in the heart of Burgundy, an area globally renowned for its dedication to terroir-driven winemaking, and is presented with an alcohol content of 12.5%.

Buy with confidence

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
