(2006) Tollot-Beaut's Chorey-lès-Beaune has been one of my good value Burgundy bankers for years. Now in very smart, modern packaging, the wine has a terrific nose, redolent of red cherry, and cranberries with lots of spice and smoky, coffeeish aromas and a hint of damp, earthy leaves and forest floor. On the palate this is bold and chewy, with plenty of crisp-edged, ripe red fruit but all the time that chunky, charry background and touch of slightly green, mentholy character, and rustic tannins adding grip and savoury dryness to the finish. A characterful and very flavoursome Burgundy and very expressive. This will cellar and improve for many years if you can resist opening it now.
