Armand Heitz Pommard Les Vaumuriens 2020

Description

The wine is produced from the Les Vaumuriens vineyard parcel, located in the northern part of Pommard. Thanks to its cooler exposure and clay-limestone soils, it displays greater freshness, aromatic precision and minerality than many other Pommard wines. Fermentation with whole clusters and careful ageing in French oak barrels highlight not only the character of 'Pinot Noir', but also the distinctive expression of this specific terroir.

The nose reveals aromas of cherries, blackberries and wild raspberries, complemented by rose petals, black pepper, forest floor and subtle mineral notes. With time in the glass, additional layers of complexity emerge, including hints of smoke, liquorice and delicate spice.

On the palate, the wine shows the classic structure of Pommard while maintaining elegance and freshness. Concentrated fruit is supported by vibrant acidity, fine, well-integrated tannins and the mineral tension derived from the limestone-rich terroir. The texture is seamless and precise, leading to a long finish marked by notes of red and dark berries, spice and minerality.

The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with whole clusters. The wine is aged for approximately 14 months in French oak barrels, a proportion of which are new. Oak is used with restraint, allowing the purity of the fruit and the character of the Les Vaumuriens vineyard to remain at the forefront.

 

Serving recommendations

It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 15–16 °C, paired with duck breast, veal medallions, sautéed porcini mushrooms, or aged semi-hard cheeses.

 
 

About brand

Armand Heitz – Burgundy wines from Chassagne-Montrachet

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.

Wine style

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.

Prestigious vineyards

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.

Ageing and drinking potential

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.
