The 2023 Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge La Robignotte is a beautifully poised and finely detailed Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most exciting emerging domaines. Sourced from the limestone-rich La Robignotte vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, the wine reflects Camille Thiriet’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy, favouring purity, freshness and vineyard transparency over extraction or overt oak influence. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry layered alongside violet, sweet spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive lift and aromatic precision.
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 whole-bunch 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 transparency while allowing the vineyard’s mineral character to shine through with clarity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge La Robignotte is a superb modern Burgundy Pinot Noir — elegant, mineral and beautifully expressive with outstanding freshness and finesse. Perfect with roast duck, quail, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or refined poultry dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar gracefully through 2040+.
