2018 Armand Heitz Pommard Les Arvelets

Domaine Armand Heitz, located in the village of Pommard, is a family affair that dates back to the 19th century. Having accumulated numerous plots large and small in many of the most prestigious locations in Burgundy, the family sold all of its grapes to the famed Maison Joseph Drouhin for many years. Upon entering the family business in 2011, Armand began reappropriating the family’s vineyards for use in its own brand. Often made in extraordinary small amounts and representing vineyards from the village to grand cru range, the wines of Armand Heitz have developed a fanatical following, from their least expensive to highly coveted bottling.

Les Arvelets is a 26-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Pommard appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Since there are no Grand Crus in Pommard, the Premier Crus have special importance. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “Pommard at its best is the fullest wine made in the Cote de Beaune.”

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
