Chorey-lès-Beaune is one of Burgundy's quietly brilliant open secrets — a village appellation that sits in the shadow of Beaune and Savigny yet regularly punches well above its modest price point. Tollot-Beaut are among its finest custodians: a domaine that has farmed here for generations and whose wines consistently offer real Burgundian character without the eye-watering tariff of their more famous neighbours. The 2019 is a warm, generous vintage that gave the Côte de Beaune exactly the ripeness it needed, and this wine shows it — there's a fullness to the fruit that feels almost plush by Chorey standards. In the glass it's all bright cherry, wild strawberry, and a suggestion of crushed rose petal, with a gentle earthiness underneath that keeps it honest. The tannins are silky and fine, the acidity fresh enough to give the whole thing real shape.
