Vintage information 2000:

A super year for whites, concentrated, certainly ripe but good balancing acidity.
The reds are clearly from a 'ripe' vintage but all started quite delicious. Then followed a mawkish phase. Occasional Côte de Nuits wines can even rival the imperious 99s though the average quality is a lower. In the Côte de Beaune, most wines were wonderfully ripe, joyous even on release. Many recent bottles are back to form - even with hints of maturity, but do yourself a favour and wait a little longer for your grand crus...

2000 Tollot-Beaut, Chorey-lès-BeauneJul. 2004
Medium cherry red with a slightly amber rim. The nose is red and powdery/dusty. Good fat with nice furry tannin and good fruit. A little TCA taint on the palate, but a good bottle would be a very good value wine, both interesting and showing none of the jammy fruit you sometimes find with Chorey
2000 Tollot-Beaut, Chorey-lès-BeauneApr. 2003
Medium cherry red. Nose is sweet and oaky with difficult to define, though cooked red fruits. Soft, with good acidity and concentration. Sometimes I get a bit of a “bubble-gum” impression with Chorey, but not in this case. Very good for Chorey-les-Beaune.
