Domaine Camille Thiriet Côte de Nuits “Cuvée Deslandes” 2024 750ml

Cuvée Deslandes brings together complementary parcels from Corgoloin and Comblanchien. The principal component has historically come from Le Creux de Sabon, high on the slope of Comblanchien, from Pinot Noir vines approaching 90 years old. The cuvée is named in honor of an early supporter of the domaine. Whole-cluster fermentation and long, gentle infusion preserve the delicate floral and spicy character of the fruit, while a portion of the wine may be raised in stainless steel to retain freshness and aromatic clarity.  This is an especially compelling introduction to Côte de Nuits-Villages: perfumed and vibrant, but underpinned by the concentration of very old vines.
