The 2024 Domaine Camille Thiriet Bourgogne Blanc En La Place is a distinctive single-parcel Chardonnay from La Sablière, between Corgoloin and Comblanchien in the northern Côte de Nuits. The vines are around 60 years old, producing naturally concentrated fruit with excellent freshness. The 2024 shows ripe pear, Golden Delicious apple and white peach alongside lemon, citrus blossom, hazelnut and subtle flinty mineral notes. The cool, challenging vintage has given the wine a particularly energetic and mouth-watering character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of orchard fruit, citrus and delicate stone fruit. Pear and Golden Delicious apple are complemented by lemon zest, white peach and subtle almond and hazelnut notes, while a fine chalky mineral and saline character adds tension and length. The texture is gently rounded through the mid-palate but remains fresh and focused, with a subtle savoury edge developing as the wine opens. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, leaving lingering citrus, orchard fruit, mineral and nutty notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers looking for a more individual and terroir-driven Burgundy at Bourgogne Blanc level. Its combination of pure fruit, mouth-watering acidity and mineral freshness makes it approachable now, while the concentration and texture should allow further savoury and nutty complexity to develop in bottle. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops with lemon butter, grilled John Dory with fennel, butter-poached marron, roast chicken with tarragon, crab linguine, or leek and Comté tart.
