Domaine Tortochot

Domaine Tortochot was created in the late 19th century. Since 1996, Chantal Tortochot has been working on a project to refresh the vineyards, restore and modernize a century-old winery. The property is 11 hectares, 10 of which are in Gevrey-Chambertin, including two 1er Crus and three Grand Cru plots. The average age of the vineyards in the whole domain is over 50 years. Vinification is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. On Pinot Noir grapes, the bunches are removed and cold maceration is made before fermentation. All plots are vinified separately, and modern temperature control provides slow and delicate fermentation. All Grand Crus mature for 18 months in 100% new oak, and 1er Crus in about 50%. Since the 2012 harvest, all Domaine Tortochot wines have been ecologically certified by EcoCert. Chantal wines are elegant, rich and concentrated at the same time. They are exceptional expressions of each individual terroir.
