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 region, red wines are produced from a single variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually differ in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex, and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its highly 'crushed' vineyards, and the general belief is that the smaller the vineyard area, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of just 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuits to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Côte de Nuits lies in the red wines - here, 95% of red wines are produced from the Pinot Noir grape. Naturally, some of the best, age-worthy, most exotic, and expensive wines are also found here. Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red, and 2% sparkling. The variety for white wine is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality ranges from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny, and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former traditionally age in small oak barrels, while the wines from Macon are usually lighter in character and correspondingly offer a good quality-to-price ratio. The red wines from Beaune do not possess the fame of their 'brothers' from Côte de Nuits, with exceptions being those from Pommard, Corton, and Volnay. Generally, they are lighter in style, but depending on the vintage, they can show potential that successfully rivals 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.
