Corton Bressandes Grand Cru Domaine Tollot Beaut, 1998

Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru from Domaine Tollot-Beaut is a sought-after expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, combining Grand Cru depth with the domaine’s hallmark finesse and precision. The 1998 vintage offers a mature, terroir-driven Pinot Noir from one of the appellation’s most respected vineyards, prized for its balance, structure, and classic Burgundian character.

Tasting Notes
With age, this wine typically shows a garnet to brick-red hue at the rim, reflecting its evolution in bottle. The nose can unfold with notes of dried cherry, redcurrant, forest floor, rose petal, sous-bois, truffle, and subtle spice, with more tertiary complexity emerging over time. On the palate, it is likely to be graceful yet structured, with refined tannins, lively acidity, and layered flavors of red berry compote, earthy mushroom tones, and gentle savory nuances. In a good cellar, the 1998 vintage may still offer attractive drinking, though its peak will depend on storage and the condition of the bottle.

Production
Corton-Bressandes is one of the best-known Grand Cru climats on the Corton hill, where limestone-rich soils and varied exposures help produce Pinot Noir with both power and elegance. Domaine Tollot-Beaut is known for careful vineyard work and a traditional Burgundian approach, typically emphasizing selective harvesting and gentle vinification to preserve purity, structure, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, game birds, mushroom-based dishes, beef filet, veal, or mature cheeses such as Époisses or Comté. Serve at 16-18°C, and if the bottle is showing well, consider opening it in advance or decanting gently for a short period to help it open up without losing its delicate aromatics.
