Domaine Thiriet - Les Grands Champs - Volnay 2019
Maison Thiriet is located opposite the Château de Comblanchien, in Côte-d´Or, in the heart of the Côte-de Nuits, in Burgundy. After years of experience in both production and sales, Canadian-born cellar master Matt Chittick and adopted Burgundian Camille Thiriet have shown prudence and ambition to achieve a long-term dream, that of producing Burgundy wines under their own label. They met while working for Domaine de Bellene. 2016 was Maison Thiriet's first vintage, it was produced in a small 20m2 garage and only four white Burgundy barrels and three Côte de Nuits Villages barrels were produced. Everything is done in an artisanal way, pumping over in the bucket, crushing by foot, ratchet press. No inputs or indigenous yeasts are added. The bottles are labeled and waxed by hand.
The Volnay Village "Grands Champs" comes from a plot of Pinot Noir, the vines of which are around 50 years old. The entire harvest was vinified, with a lot of infusion, light pumping over and some punching down.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
