The 2001 Corton Grand Cru from Domaine Tollot-Beaut is drinking beautifully, revealing a vibrant ruby-garnet hue and a sweet bouquet of dried cherry, loamy soil, spice and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and deep at the core, with real concentration and grand cru dimension, and a long, sapid finish. At almost seventeen years of age, this wine is a persuasive argument for looking more closely at this historic domaine in Chorey-lès-Beaune.
