The 2024 Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge La Robignotte is a highly distinctive single-vineyard Pinot Noir from a tiny 0.6-hectare monopole above the Corgoloin cemetery. The site is particularly rare for its outcrops of blue marl, which contribute depth, mineral tension and impressive longevity. The vines average around 60 years old, producing naturally concentrated fruit. The 2024 vintage shows ripe red and dark cherry, raspberry and blackberry alongside violet, roasted spice, subtle forest-floor notes and a fine mineral character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and beautifully layered, with vibrant acidity, concentrated fruit and fine, powdery tannins. Dark cherry and ripe red berries are joined by raspberry, subtle blackberry, roasted brown spice and gentle earthy notes, while the blue-marl soils bring an additional mineral dimension and length. The 2024 was fermented with around 80% whole bunches, adding aromatic lift, delicate stem spice and a lightly savoury complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The texture is fluid and polished, with impressive density balanced by freshness and energy. The finish is dry, long and persistent, leaving lingering dark fruit, spice, mineral and savoury notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for Burgundy drinkers and Pinot Noir collectors looking for a Côte de Nuits-Villages with Premier Cru-like depth, concentration and ageing potential. The 2024 vintage is still youthful, and a few years in bottle will allow the tannins, whole-bunch spice and darker fruit to integrate further. Best enjoyed from around 2028–2035. Serve with roast duck and wild mushrooms, venison with juniper, slow-braised beef cheeks, roast quail with thyme, or truffle and porcini risotto.
