The 2024 Domaine Collotte Bourgogne Cuvée de Noble Souche is a beautifully crafted Burgundy Pinot Noir that showcases the purity, elegance and authenticity for which Domaine Collotte has become increasingly respected. Produced from carefully selected old-vine Pinot Noir parcels in the Côte de Nuits, the Noble Souche cuvée is designed to offer greater depth and character than a typical Bourgogne Rouge, highlighting the estate’s commitment to low-intervention winemaking and expressive terroir-driven wines. The 2024 vintage delivers vibrant fruit, freshness and remarkable balance, creating a wine that is both approachable and distinctly Burgundian.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry layered with rose petal, violet and subtle spice. Delicate notes of forest floor, dried herbs and gentle earthy nuances add complexity, while hints of tea leaf and crushed stone provide freshness and lift. The aromatic profile is pure, elegant and immediately inviting.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity and impressive fruit purity. Layers of red berry fruits, cherry and wild strawberry are supported by subtle savoury undertones, gentle spice and a fine mineral thread. The texture is supple and refined, offering excellent balance between freshness and concentration. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness, leading to a long, clean and harmonious finish marked by lingering notes of red fruits, floral nuances and delicate earthy complexity. The style is classic, approachable and beautifully representative of modern Burgundy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking for authentic Burgundy Pinot Noir that overdelivers at its level. Compared to many generic Bourgogne Rouge wines, the Cuvée de Noble Souche offers greater depth, vineyard character and refinement while maintaining the elegance and drinkability that make Burgundy so appealing. It’s an ideal introduction to Domaine Collotte’s style and a fantastic option for everyday premium drinking. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, grilled salmon or soft-rind cheeses.
