Chorey-lès-Beaune Domaine Tollot-Beaut 1997
This 1997 red wine, bottled at 13% alcohol by volume, comes from the Chorey-lès-Beaune appellation in the Burgundy region of eastern France. Burgundy's viticultural landscape was shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs, creating a fine-meshed system of climats. Stretching from Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the region is defined by its limestone soils. The 1997 vintage achieved a score of 86 points and is described as charming, but quickly developed.
Chorey-lès-Beaune is located in the Côte de Beaune, situated just north of Beaune between Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. Granted AOC status in 1970, it is one of the few village appellations in the region located on the plain rather than the slopes. The area covers approximately 134 hectares of marl-limestone alluvium with a stony subsoil, which becomes more gravelly towards Aloxe-Corton and more clayey towards Savigny. The appellation is dominated by Pinot Noir, an elegant blue grape widely cultivated in Burgundy, as well as in Champagne, Germany, Oregon, and California. Chorey-lès-Beaune is recognized as an accessible introduction to both the Côte de Beaune style and village-level Burgundy.
Domaine Tollot-Beaut was founded in 1880 by François Tollot and remains one of the most highly regarded small family wineries in Burgundy. A significant historical milestone for the estate occurred in 1921 when Tollot-Beaut became one of the first producers in the region to bottle their own wines, rather than selling grapes or barrels to négociants—a pioneering decision made decades before it became common practice. As noted on the label, this wine was bottled directly at the domaine. Today, the estate is managed by the fifth generation, cousins Nathalie, Olivier, and Jean-Paul Tollot. They cultivate 24 hectares across four communes, holding rare monopoles such as Savigny-lès-Beaune Champs-Chevrey and Chorey-lès-Beaune Pièce du Chapitre, alongside a Grand Cru portfolio that includes Corton, Corton-Bressandes, and Corton-Charlemagne.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.

Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
