Domaine Tollot-Beaut Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru 2017 750ml

Domaine Tollot-Beaut is a family estate in Chorey-lès-Beaune, admired for generous, polished red Burgundy, and Corton-Bressandes is one of its top grand cru holdings on the hill of Corton. Bressandes usually gives a fairly muscular Pinot Noir, but Burghound noted that the 2017 leans toward refinement, reflecting a charming, generous vintage across the Côte de Beaune. Wine Spectator described ripe strawberry, cherry, sandalwood, rose and mineral notes in a taut, racy, harmonious frame with terrific length, while Vinous highlighted floral raspberry and crushed strawberry fruit with energy and precision. Matured in 50% new oak, it should be at its best from about 2029 and drink well for a decade beyond.
