The 2024 Maison Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge Aux Montagnes is a single-parcel Pinot Noir from a four-hectare vineyard directly below the Château de Comblanchien. Sitting around 260 metres on a thin layer of red, iron-rich clay over limestone bedrock, the site naturally produces small berries and concentrated fruit. The wine shows sour cherry, wild raspberry and redcurrant alongside violet, rose petal, blood orange, subtle clove and woodland notes. Its perfume and mineral character give it an elegant, finely detailed style.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and layers of bright red fruit. Cherry, raspberry and redcurrant are complemented by citrus peel, delicate floral notes, black tea and gentle earthy spice. The fine mineral character gives the wine tension and length, while the tannins provide a subtle grip without overpowering the fresh fruit. The palate is juicy and energetic, building gradually towards a dry, focused and persistent finish with lingering red berry, savoury and stony notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers who enjoy fragrant Côte de Nuits-Villages Pinot Noir with freshness, fine tannins and distinctive vineyard character. The 2024 vintage is youthful but already shows impressive balance and detail, with further softness and savoury complexity expected with bottle age. Best enjoyed from 2027–2035. Pair with roast duck and wild mushrooms, roast quail with lentils, grilled tuna with sesame, porcini and Comté tart, or miso-glazed eggplant.
