Red dry
Pinot Noir from the Les Chaumes plot within the Corton Grand Cru appellation, the only Grand Cru appellation for red wines in the Côte de Beaune. Les Chaumes is located on the lower part of the Corton slope, where calcareous, stony soils predominate. This site allows the wine to combine fruit concentration with freshness, structure and minerality.
The 2019 vintage in Burgundy was warm, resulting in greater fruit ripeness and concentration. The nose reveals notes of black cherry, ripe raspberry and blackcurrant, complemented by violet, liquorice, subtle spice and graphite nuances. As the wine opens, more earthy and dried-herb tones emerge.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and structured, while retaining a good level of freshness. The ripe dark-fruit character is supported by lively acidity, while fine-grained tannins provide a firm structure. The calcareous subsoil of Les Chaumes is expressed through a dry, stony mineral line. The finish is long, with lingering notes of black cherry, red berries, graphite, liquorice and subtle earthy and spicy tones.
The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted, with a portion of whole clusters used during vinification. The wine is aged in French oak barrels.
Serve at a temperature of 14–16 °C with roast lamb, duck breast, venison with lingonberry sauce, or beef cheeks.
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.
