2001 Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières

By on September 30, 2006 #asides

Medium ruby-red. The nose starts bright and red, powdery fruit with currently just a little savoury undertow, shows a nice core of intensity. Lovely texture, perfect acidity and good mid-palate intensity. The acidity elongates the finish though here lies the only negative, just a little bitterness at the very end. I expect that this is a transitory oak effect that will improve. An
xcellent wine I think.

2000 Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières

By on September 30, 2006 #asides

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.

1999 Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières

(From magnum) A deep core of colour that’s just holding onto the last trace of cherry-red. Aromaticly this is both wide and deep – the high notes are a little floral and the depth is of red jam tarts. The palate has good density yet somehow remains rather compact. The texture has just an edge of fat and plenty of tannin though it’s quite fine for a Savigny. The fruit is black-edged and really does hang-on very well in the finish. Certainly young, but lots of potential – everyone enjoyed this wine – three more were ordered for the cellar but they had sold out!

2002 Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières

A wild cacophony of red and black fruit over oak greets your nose, slowly focuses to bright black cherry eventually with a sweet, creamy edge. This is likewise black-fruit dominated in the mouth with more than a trace of oak flavour, but no bad oak texture. Super acidity and a finish that for most of the trip is also a little oaky then surprises with a creamy flourish. There’s just a little more wood evident here than with the other wines, but there’s also depth, good texture and great balance. This wine is showing very young – I wouldn’t hesitate to leave this 5 years before revisiting, the base material is very good.

An open, sweet cherry nose. Again an extra density on the palate. Fine tannins with a perceptible extra length to the finish. The vines are a mix of ages; planted in the 1950’s, 1980’s and 1990’s. A lovely elegant effort which shows just a hint of cream on the finish.

A tighter, finer core of black-shaded fruits on the nose – some depth too. A super fine texture to the palate, just a little more padding than the ‘Lavières’- again dark shaded fruit. I always liked this wine, and here is no exception.

2004 Tollot-Beaut Beaune Clos du Roi

High-toned fruit over a depth of dark fruit with hints of oak. Nice texture, lovely purity; the tannins are a little more forward but still quite fine. A super wine.

1991 Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Champs Chevrey

By on July 31, 2006 #asides

Medium ruby-red – looks lovely in the glass – quite young looking. The nose starts slightly feral followed by a deep chocolate note, then a savoury stage before a baked raspberry tart core remains constant. Nice fat, round in aspect it’s well balanced with lovely acidity and real complexity. Still some tannin, the finish slowly fades.
Lots of interest here – do yourself a favour and don’t always drink these young!

2002 Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Champs Chevrey

By on February 28, 2005 #asides

Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. The nose is high-toned, very fresh and very red with a creamy edge. Likewise a very fresh palate, concentrated red shaded fruit that’s also very creamy in the finish – slowly takes on a blacker shade. The medium tannins are finely grained but also slightly astringent. Lingering acidity too. There is much more obvious structure here than many 02’s but it didn’t hamper the drinking in any way. I usually like this wine and this is no exception – more to be ordered.
