Heritage & Leadership
C. Thiriet is a négociant house established in Burgundy during the 2010s. The business is owned and operated by Camille Thiriet, who represents part of a new generation of winemakers in the region who have established micro-négociant operations. As a boutique producer, C. Thiriet focuses on small-production wines that reflect the diverse terroirs of Burgundy.
The négociant model allows Camille Thiriet to work with fruit from various vineyard sites throughout the region rather than being limited to a single estate's holdings. This approach provides flexibility to select quality fruit from different appellations while maintaining a focused production scale.
Vineyards & Wines
As a négociant, C. Thiriet sources grapes from vineyards throughout Burgundy's prestigious growing areas. The portfolio encompasses wines from both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, the two principal subregions of the Côte d'Or. This geographic diversity allows for a range of expressions within the collection.
Following Burgundian tradition, C. Thiriet focuses primarily on the region's two signature grape varieties: Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for white wines. The portfolio includes wines at various classification levels typical of Burgundy's appellation system, including village-level, premier cru, and potentially grand cru designations.
Philosophy & Practice
C. Thiriet employs traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques to produce wines that emphasize elegance and terroir expression. This approach aligns with the region's focus on allowing each vineyard site to express its unique characteristics through the finished wines.
The production includes both red and white wines, with reds produced from Pinot Noir and whites from Chardonnay. These varietal choices reflect the classic Burgundian commitment to these two grape varieties, which have historically demonstrated their ability to translate the nuances of the region's diverse terroirs.
