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.

Burgundy
In this area, red wines are produced from one variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually vary in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its small vineyards and it is generally believed that the smaller the area of the vineyard, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of only 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuit to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Cotê de Nuits is in the red wines - 95% of Pinot Noir grapes are produced here. Of course, here are some of the best, able to age, the most exotic and expensive wines. The Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red wine and 2% sparkling wine. The white wine variety is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality varies from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former are traditionally aged in small oak barrels, while Macon wines are usually lighter in character and have a good value for money. The red wines from Beaune do not have the fame of their "brothers" from Côte de Nuit, with exceptions here are those who come from Pomard, Corton and Volney. In general, they are lighter in style, but depending on the harvest they can show potential that successfully competes with the Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
