{"product_id":"bourgogne-tollot-beaut-fils-1998","title":"Bourgogne Domaine Tollot-Beaut 1998","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine Tollot-Beaut was founded in 1880 by François Tollot in Chorey-lès-Beaune, a small commune situated between Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. Today, it is recognized as one of the most highly regarded smaller family estates in Burgundy. A significant historical milestone for the estate occurred in 1921 when Tollot-Beaut became one of the first producers in the region to bottle their own wines, rather than selling them as grapes or in barrels to négociants. This pioneering decision was made decades before the practice became widespread in Burgundy. The estate is currently managed by the fifth generation of the family, cousins Nathalie, Olivier, and Jean-Paul Tollot, who oversee 24 hectares of vineyards spread across Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, and Aloxe-Corton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is classified under the Bourgogne AOC, the foundational regional appellation established in 1937 that covers the extensive wine region of eastern and central France. The viticultural landscape of Burgundy was originally shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the countless terroirs, creating a finely woven system of climats. The region features a predominantly continental climate and soils dominated by a classic mixture of clay and limestone. The 1998 vintage from this historic area achieved a score of 87 points and is characterized as ready to drink, balanced, and solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced and bottled directly at the domaine, this 1998 Appellation Bourgogne Contrôlée reflects the estate's long-standing tradition of independent production. The wine is crafted in the heart of Burgundy, an area globally renowned for its dedication to terroir-driven winemaking, and is presented with an alcohol content of 12.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Tollot-Beaut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56842980491590,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-192_0923ac94-6e7c-44e5-979f-b9bb518992e3.jpg?v=1782290948","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/bourgogne-tollot-beaut-fils-1998","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
