Domaine Tollot-Beaut & Fils Bourgogne Rouge

The palate is bright, red‑fruited, and finely etched, opening with red cherry, raspberry, and a touch of cranberry. The fruit feels pure and lightly tart, reflecting the cooler 2021 vintage and its naturally brisk acidity. A thread of rose petal, dried herbs, and gentle earthiness brings savoury nuance through the mid‑palate, while the 25% new oak adds a quiet layer of vanilla and warm spice without overwhelming the wine’s delicacy. The texture shows the vintage’s hallmark: light, linear, and quietly tense. Tannins are fine, lightly rustic, and softly grippy, giving the wine shape without weight. The finish is clean, bright, and subtly mineral, tapering with notes of cherry skin, redcurrant, and a faint earthy warmth, leaving an impression of finesse and restraint.
