Red dry
A wine from the small, just 0.66-hectare monopole Clos des Poutures in the Pommard Premier Cru appellation. The wine offers a more restrained expression of Pommard, combining structure with freshness and aromatic precision. The cooler 2021 vintage in Burgundy helped preserve lively acidity and a more moderate level of fruit ripeness.
The nose reveals notes of cherry, redcurrant and wild raspberry, complemented by rose petal, orange peel, white pepper, dried herbs and chalky nuances. As the wine opens, more earthy and spicy tones emerge.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, medium-bodied and precisely structured. Lively acidity provides energy, while fine-grained tannins support the fruit without weighing it down. The calcareous soils contribute a mineral tension that becomes particularly evident on the long, dry finish, where notes of cherry stone, red berries, spices, chalk and subtle earthy tones linger.
The grapes are hand-harvested, with a portion fermented as whole clusters. The wine is aged for approximately 14 months in French oak barrels, using a moderate proportion of new oak.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 15–16 °C, paired with roasted duck breast, pheasant, veal loin with mushroom sauce, Époisses de Bourgogne AOP, or aged Comté cheese.
Armand Heitz is a biodynamic Burgundy wine estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, actively producing wine under its own name since 2013. After completing his studies in Switzerland and several years of practical experimentation, Armand gradually took over the historic family vineyards, which for many years had been leased to Maison Drouhin, returning them to independent, terroir-focused winemaking.
Working closely with Ludovic Pierrot, long-time winemaker at Domaine Leflaive, Armand Heitz pursues a clear objective: to craft classically styled Burgundy wines where place, aromatic purity, and structural balance take precedence over technique. His philosophy aligns with benchmarks such as Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Ramonet—not through imitation, but through shared values and direction.
The estate follows biodynamic viticulture, prioritising low yields, soil vitality, and natural balance. Oak usage is deliberately restrained, with approximately 15–25% new barrels, ensuring clarity of texture and a transparent aromatic profile rather than overt oak expression.
Armand Heitz wines are defined by balance and a clear sense of origin.
White wines show distinct minerality, full yet precise texture, pure aromatics, and finely integrated oak.
Red wines are aromatic and juicy, with polished tannins and a dominant red-berry profile, achieved without excessive extraction.
The estate owns historic Burgundy vineyards, some acquired as early as 1857, including several of the region’s most renowned sites:
Meursault 1er Cru Perrières
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Têtes de Clos
Montrachet Grand Cru
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens
Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds
These are complemented by smaller but distinctive parcels in Chassagne-Montrachet, Meursault, and Pommard, allowing for a broad and nuanced interpretation of Burgundy terroirs.
A key strength of Armand Heitz Burgundy wines is their early approachability without sacrificing ageing potential. The wines are well balanced and enjoyable upon release, while their structural integrity and natural acidity allow them to develop gracefully over time.
