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, Savigny-lès-Beaune Les LavièresOct. 2006
Medium, medium-plus ruby-red. A nose of wide and sweet red fruit with just a suggestion of high-toned fresh mint. The impact is very up-front and indeed front-end loaded, slowly fading through the mid-palate and finish but the finish holds well. There is good ripeness and a nicely accessible presentation. A diminuendo of a wine, no hard edges, though not much structure either, yet very nice aromatics indeed. Still no rush to consume.
