About Domaine Tortochot
Domaine Tortochot specializes in wines from the Pinot Noir grape variety and is most recognized for its three premier cru wines produced from the renowned Lavaux-Saint-Jacques and Champeaux Premier Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, as well as the Aux Charmes Premier Cru climat in Morey-Saint-Denis. The Tortochot family has a viticultural history in Gevrey-Chambertin that goes back four generations. This started in the 19th Century with the vigneron Paul Tortochot. The Tortochots became connected with the notable Li baut family from Morey-Saint-Denis when Paul's son F lix married Louise Li baut, who added her family's vineyards in the village to the Tortochot holdings. The 12-hectare (30-acre) domaine later passed to F lix and Louise's son, Gabriel, who in turn transferred the management of the estate to its current proprietor, his daughter Chantal. Chantal Tortochot initiated the domine's move towards organic viticulture and in 2013, Domaine Tortochot produced its first vintage of organic-certified wine. For the winemaking, the grapes are 100% de-stemmed and then crushed. Next, the grapes are cooled down in tanks and undergo cold maceration for four to five days. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeast and pumping over occurs at the end of each day with two punch downs per day. For ageing the wine, Chantal uses medium toast barrels with 100% new oak on the grands crus, 50% new oak on the premiers crus and 25% new oak for the village wines. Domaine Tortochot's wine portfolio also comprises four grand cru wines sourced from plots of Pinot Noir vines at the Le Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin and Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru vineyards.
