Red dry
This is a sector where we now mainly find chardonnay. To our greatest happiness, this old vine is preserved as Pinot Noir. The plot is located very high on the hill of Corton. With rather stony soil, it produces a typical Corton wine. A very light color but with a strong character. Soil is fine limestone soils alternating with
marl, at an altitude of between 300 and 350 metres.
Serve at 16-18 °C with grilled meat, cheeses.
Armand Heitz, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, entered the Burgundy wine scene only in 2013. After two years of experimentation, solidifying his acquired knowledge from studies in Switzerland, he took over the historic family vineyards, which had been leased to Maison Drouhin for many years. Armand gradually took over the vineyards, and together with Ludovic Pierrot, a long-time oenologist at Domaine Leflaive, set a goal to create aromatic and expressive Burgundy wine, revealing the unique terroir according to classic winemaking traditions.
Armand Heitz's ideal of Burgundy wine is the elite Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Ramonet, whose path he follows. The winemaker promotes environmentally friendly biodynamic winemaking, low yields, moderate use of oak barrels (15–25% new oak), and terroir expression.
Wine Style:
Armand Heitz wine is expressive, with exceptional balance, enjoyable both upon release and when mature, perfectly revealing its origin vineyard.
The winery owns prestigious vineyards, acquired since 1857. Among them, the following stand out:
These are complemented by less famous but characteristically distinct Chassagne, Meursault, and Pommard vineyards.
Aging and Drinking Period:
One of the greatest advantages of Armand Heitz wine is its style, which allows enjoyment of the wines in their youth. They are perfectly balanced and delicious immediately, but also have the potential to mature and develop successfully over time.
