About
A dry red wine from Beaune Premier Cru “Clos du Roi” AOC (Côte de Beaune, Burgundy), made from 100% Pinot Noir. The “Clos du Roi” terroir with clay-limestone soils gives a delicate aromatic profile and structured elegance. Traditionally fermented and aged in French oak barrels (partly new) for around 14–16 months. Style — Red – Savory and Classic.
Producer
The Tollot-Beaut family Domaine is based at Chorey-Les-Beaune, often thought of as a slightly old-fashioned backwater. Their vineyard holdings, however, extend to Beaune, Savigny, Aloxe-Corton and a tiny holding in the Corton Charlemagne vineyard. The hallmark of their wines is a striking purity of fruit - the reds display a truly succulent quality supported (but never dominated) by judicious use of oak. It is now Nathalie Tollot who is in charge, alongside other members of this extensive family.
Tasting notes
Medium ruby colour. Aromas of red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry), rose petals, fresh grass, and a delicate earthy note. On the palate — elegant, medium-bodied, with crisp acidity, fine tannins, and pure fruit expression. The finish is long, with mineral and floral nuances.
Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled chicken, rabbit stew, and softer cheeses such as Chaource or Brillat-Savarin.

Domaine Tollot Beaut
Šīs vīndarītavas sākums datējams ar 1894. gadu, un jau piektā Fenočio (Fenocchio) ģimenes paaudze ražo vīnu savā darītavā pašā Busijas sirdī, Monforte d’Alba kopienā. Līdz 1964. gadam lielākā daļa saražoto vīnu tika pārdota vietējā tirgū, kad ambiciozais un enerģiskais Džakomo Fenočio pārņēma vīndarītavas vadību. Viņa mērķis bija ražot labākos vīnus visā Barolo, tāpēc viņš iegādājās izcilākos vīnogulājus prestižākajās Langes reģiona vīnogu audzētavās. Šobrīd vīndarītavas vadības grožus ir pārņēmis Džakomo dēls Klaudio, kurš turpina tēva aizsāktās tradīcijas, ražojot lieliskus vīnus no vīnogām, kas aug labākajos Barolo vīna dārzos. Šos vīnus var raksturot, kā vien vēlaties – minimālistiski, tradicionāli, vecmodīgi, bet svarīgākais ir tas, ka Klaudio radītie vīni atspoguļo teruāra īpašības vistīrākajā veidā, kas raksturīgs tikai augstākā līmeņa vīndariem. Ja meklējat nākamo Itālijas vīna darīšanas zvaigzni, tad esat to atraduši. Pavisam nesen The New York Times veiktā Barolo vīnu vērtējumā Fenočio vīni ieguva 2. vietu, piekāpjoties tikai Elio Altare, bet pārspējot Elio Grasso, Massolino un Vietti vīnus. Šobrīd vīnu astronomiskā kvalitāte apsteidz cenu, kas nozīmē tikai to, ka Fenočio ir jābūt ikviena Barolo vīnu cienītāja vīna skapī.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir has very aromatic profile, very fresh acidity and low level of quaite soft tannins. The nature of Pinot Noir wine is its flavors of red berries and cherry (red sour cherries in lighter wines and cooked black cherries in bold examples). This wine matures very exating, developing notes of berry jam, violets, leather, moss and mushrooms.
Beaune is the epicenter of Burgundy's wine trade and the second largest town in the Côte d'Or wine region. The name also applies to an appellation for both whites from Chardonnay and mainly reds from the Pinot Noir grape variety.
The town gives its name to the Côte de Beaune, the southern half of the Côte d’Or escarpment. Nuits-Saint-Georges has the same honor with respect to the Côte de Nuits.
Beaune wines have always been predominantly Pinot Noir reds. Recently, though, with growing international demand for Chardonnay, the town has increased its production of white wine. Nearly 300,000 bottles of white Beaune wine are now made under the commune's appellation each year, although this still represents just 20 percent of the total output.
The reds for which the town is better known strike a middle ground in a wine tasting of Burgundy Pinot Noirs. They are not as rich or "masculine" as those from Pommard, immediately to the south, nor as structured as the grand cru wines from Corton, immediately to the north.
The Beaune appellation has an unusually high proportion of premier cru-classified vineyards. More than 40 stretching in an uninterrupted belt across the commune from north to south.
For centuries, Beaune has been intrinsically associated with Burgundy's wines. This was so much the case that, before the formalization of France's appellation system, its name was widely used as a generic title for any wine from the wider region. Since the creation of the AOC Beaune appellation in 1936, only wines from Beaune vineyards have been able to use the name.
Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
