The 2023 Maison C. Thiriet Coteaux Bourguignons Rosay is a beautifully vibrant and deeply seductive rosé from one of Burgundy’s most exciting young domaines. Produced by Camille Thiriet and Matt Chittick from hand-picked old-vine Gamay grown around Corgoloin in the Côte de Nuits, the wine reflects the pair’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy and focus on purity, freshness and terroir expression. Slowly pressed and spontaneously fermented in a combination of barrel and tank, the "Rosay" intentionally revives the old Burgundian spelling for rosé while delivering a style that is both playful and remarkably serious.
The nose reveals wild strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant layered alongside rose petal, cream and delicate spice, giving the wine remarkable aromatic charm and lift. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, a silky mid-palate and a tightly focused mineral core. Layers of juicy red fruit unfold with saline freshness and subtle savoury tension, finishing long, zesty and beautifully persistent with exceptional drinkability. Critics and merchants consistently describe the wine as one of the most compelling rosés currently being produced in Burgundy, highlighting its creamy texture, racy finish and remarkable energy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Maison C. Thiriet Rosay is a superb modern Burgundy rosé — vibrant, mineral and effortlessly elegant with outstanding freshness and finesse. Perfect lightly chilled with charcuterie, grilled prawns, roast chicken, niçoise salad or simply as an aperitif. Enjoy now through 2029.
