The 2024 Domaine Camille Thiriet Bourgogne Rouge En La Place is an elegant and finely perfumed Pinot Noir from old vines around Comblanchien and Corgoloin in the southern Côte de Nuits. The vines, around 90 years old, grow in sandy clay and limestone soils that help give the wine its lifted aromatics and delicate texture. The 2024 vintage shows bright wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry alongside rose petal, redcurrant, subtle spice and a gentle smoky-earthy note.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and silky, with vibrant acidity, fine tannins and layers of fresh red fruit. Raspberry and cherry are joined by wild strawberry, redcurrant and delicate floral notes, while subtle clove, black tea, earth and a faint stony character add complexity as the wine opens. Around 40% whole-cluster fermentation contributes aromatic lift and a gentle savoury edge, while maturation in neutral barrels keeps the focus on the purity of the fruit. The finish is dry, fresh and persistent, with a lovely chalky texture and lingering red berry, floral and savoury notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers looking for a beautifully perfumed Pinot Noir that offers the character of more serious Côte de Nuits wines while remaining approachable. The 2024 vintage is fresh and energetic, and should gain additional earthy and savoury complexity with short-term cellaring. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years. Serve lightly chilled with roast duck and cherry jus, roast quail with mushrooms, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, mushroom and Comté tart, or charcuterie with soft French cheeses.
