The 2024 Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge La Montagne is a refined Pinot Noir from a high, estate-owned site on the Corgoloin-Ladoix border, sitting around 280 metres and facing east. Planted with approximately 60-year-old vines in light, sandy clay soils, the vineyard produces a cooler and more structured expression than the nearby Clos Magny. The wine shows fresh red cherry, raspberry and redcurrant alongside violet, dried flowers, subtle green herbs and gentle spice. Its combination of freshness, mineral detail and savoury depth gives it an elegant, distinctly Côte de Nuits character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and layers of fresh red fruit. Raspberry, cherry and redcurrant are complemented by subtle floral notes, dried herbs, pepper and a gentle earthy character, while a fine mineral streak adds tension and length. Around 50% whole-bunch fermentation contributes aromatic lift, a lightly sappy texture and delicate stem spice, while keeping the wine energetic and precise. The palate builds gradually, moving from bright red fruit into more savoury and mineral notes before finishing dry, long and persistent with a graceful tannic grip.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers who enjoy elegant Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir with freshness, perfume, fine tannins and distinctive vineyard character. The 2024 vintage is already showing beautifully, but a little patience will allow the fruit, whole-bunch spice and savoury notes to integrate further. Best enjoyed from 2027–2032. Serve with roast duck and cherry jus, roast quail with wild mushrooms, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, veal with mushroom sauce, or mushroom and Comté tart.
