Blessed with a perfect south-south-easterly exposure, this 1er Cru is situated to the north of Beaune. Owned by the dukes of Burgundy and highly favoured by the kings of France, the wines of Beaune were regularly served at Versailles. In the 15th century, upon the death of Charles Le Téméraire, the last duke of Burgundy, this clos passed into the hands of the royal winemakers and therefore became Beaune Clos du Roi - the plot of the king.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Domaine Tollot-Beaut

Domaine Tollot-Beaut was one of the first domaine to bottle its own wines back in 1921 when most growers simply sold their wines to the local negociants, and it has retained its ground breaking ethos to the present day. Under the meticulous control of Natalie Tollot, 5th generation, the domaine currently comprises some 24 hectares of vines, spread over a number of different sites in Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune<...

A deeply opulent style, very forward with incredible richness and the oak and minerality add depth on the long finish. The tannins are firmer and more evident – will age well.
This vineyard was picked on the 5th, so one of the first of the harvest, and it shows in the tauter, more mineral and elegant structure throughout. The soil is gravellier, protected from the west by the slope and woods, so a relatively warmer site. Aged in 40% new oak for 15 months.
