🍷***NEW IN***🍷
Situated in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot, currently led by Chantal Tortochot, the fourth-generation owner, is not among the most prestigious in the village but offers remarkable value. Dedicated solely to Pinot Noir, the estate spans 12 hectares across 34 parcels, featuring enviable plots in Grands Crus like Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, and Charmes-Chambertin. Premier Crus, including those in Lavaux Saint-Jacques, contribute to their excellent terroir expression. Chantal took over at 35, ensuring consistency in style marked by finesse, lightness, and elegant tannins across the range. With sought-after vineyard sites, the domaine produces wines with natural fruit concentration, earthy minerality, and structural intensity. Sylvain Pataille, a renowned winemaker, has been a consultant for 20 years, collaborating with Chantal to refine their approach. Recent adjustments include reducing new oak usage and introducing whole-bunch fermentation to complement the ripeness of warmer vintages
