2024 Camille Thiriet 'En La Place' Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir, Burgundy, France

Domaine Camille Thiriet began in 2016 as a micro-négoce project, founded by Camille Thiriet and Matt Chittick. Their first wines were made without electricity in a modest 20-square-meter garage behind Château de Comblanchien—an intentionally humble beginning that continues to define their hands-on, artisanal approach.

Raised in Paris, Camille developed an early sensory awareness through her passion for horses and an interest in perfumery—an instinct that would later shape her approach to wine. After literary studies, she trained in Beaune and Bordeaux, but quickly moved away from academic theory in favor of hands-on experience in the vineyards and cellar.

After years of experience across both production and sales, Camille and Matt set out to realize a long-term goal: to produce Burgundy under their own label. The two met while working for Nicolas Potel at Domaine de Bellene—Matt as winemaker (2011–2014) and Camille leading sales. Through their work at Maison Roche de Bellene, which spans over 75 appellations, they developed a deep understanding of Burgundy’s terroirs and built a strong network of trusted growers. These relationships remain central today, allowing them to source exceptional fruit from producers they know and respect.
