Les Vercots is one of Aloxe-Corton's most respected premier cru lieux-dits, sitting high on the hill beneath the Grand Cru belt with a northerly lean that keeps things cool and precise. Tollot-Beaut have farmed it for generations and handle it with characteristic straightforwardness; no fuss, no over-extraction, just good Pinot Noir given the space to say something honest about where it comes from. The 2024 vintage produced wines of real freshness and delineation across the Côte de Beaune, and this is no exception: it has that characteristic Aloxe tension between red fruit and something more mineral and earthy that makes the appellation worth paying attention to. "As to the style, 2024 is definitely a cooler vintage with good freshness and transparency and it makes me think of our 2010s. I was very impressed by the quality I found here and a number of the wines are very much worth your interest." Allen Meadows, Burghound on Tollot Beaut's 2024 vintage
