Corton-Charlemagne is one of Burgundy's great white grand crus; a 71-hectare hillside beast that sits between the village gentleness of Meursault and the electric precision of Chablis, belonging entirely to neither. Tollot-Beaut are best known for their reds, which makes their parcel here something of an insider's find: a producer with deep Burgundian roots, making white Burgundy with the same quiet rigour they bring to their Savigny and Aloxe-Corton. The 2024 vintage delivered a cool, precise growing season that suits a wine like this down to the ground. Expect flint, citrus pith, green apple, and a backbone of chalky minerality, the wine's characteristic saline tension. "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
