94 / 100"Superb. Rich and sumptuous, with an intense core of concentrated cherry, spice and mineral. Combines power, finesse and an old-vine sappiness. Needs time to bring all the elements together, but what a pleasure it will be. Fine, lingering finish."

"The 2002 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru offers ripe cranberry, boysenberry, orange rind and sandalwood on the nose - quite complex vis-à-vis its peers and demonstrating impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This feels cohesive with both weight and girth (more so than the Chandon des Briaille’s), though perhaps you could argue it does not deliver quite the same precision on the finish. Nevertheless, this is thoroughly enjoyable."

Tasting Notes
Domaine Tollot-Beaut has always been a forward-thinking domaine, and they have been estate-bottling their wines for nearly a century now. Under the guidance of the charming Nathalie Tollot, and with assistance from cousins Olivier and Jean-Paul, quality is constantly increasing year on year, with an optical sorting machine having been introduced and the oak regime refined to give a more harmonious integration in the wines.
