The 2023 Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge La Montagne is a beautifully perfumed and finely structured Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most exciting emerging domaines. Sourced from limestone-rich hillside parcels in the Côte de Nuits, the wine reflects Camille Thiriet’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy, combining purity of fruit, whole-bunch freshness and mineral precision with remarkable transparency. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry layered alongside violet, sweet spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive lift and aromatic complexity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of bright red berry fruit, savoury spice and subtle stem-derived complexity are balanced by chalky freshness and supple texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent finesse and ageing potential. Careful élevage in restrained oak preserves the wine’s energy and vineyard expression while adding subtle structure and depth.
