The 2024 Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge Clos Magny is a distinctive single-vineyard Pinot Noir from a small 0.8-hectare parcel in Corgoloin, situated high on the slope at around 350 metres. The site is surrounded by forest and contains a mix of rocky, clay and limestone soils, with large boulders just beneath the surface. These conditions naturally produce small berries and loose bunches, giving the wine impressive concentration and depth. The 2024 shows vibrant dark cherry, blackberry and bramble alongside violet, subtle floral notes, earthy spice and a fine mineral character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured, with bright acidity, concentrated dark fruit and fine-grained tannins. Blackberry and dark cherry are complemented by red berry, subtle violet, dried herbs and gentle earthy spice, while the rocky site contributes a distinct mineral freshness. The wine is fermented with 100% whole bunches, adding aromatic lift, subtle stem spice and a lightly savoury dimension without overwhelming the fruit. The texture is generous and filling but remains energetic and precise, leading to a dry, long and persistent finish with lingering dark fruit, mineral and savoury notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers seeking a Côte de Nuits-Villages with the concentration and structure of a more serious vineyard expression. The 2024 is youthful and benefits from time in bottle, allowing its whole-bunch character, tannins and dark fruit to integrate further. Best enjoyed from around 2028–2032. Serve with roast duck and wild mushrooms, venison with juniper, slow-braised beef cheeks, roast quail with thyme, or truffle and porcini risotto.
