Armand Heitz 2020 Pommard Premier Cru Clos des Poutures Monopole Red Wine

Armand Heitz’s Pommard Clos des Poutures 2020 Pinot Noir redefines expectations of its origin with its sophisticated elegance—a standout among Burgundy wines that typically lean toward bold rusticity. Hailing from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroirs in France’s Côte de Beaune region, this bottle embodies Armand Heitz’s vision since his inaugural vintage in 2013: to honor rather than overshadow the unique character of its soil through minimalist winemaking practices.

While traditional Pommard wines are often described as robust and earthy, Clos des Poutures surprises with delicate finesse and luminous coloration—a hallmark of its distinct vineyard site. The light ruby hue hints at its nuanced profile: bright red berry flavors intermingle with subtle floral aromas, while silky tannins offer approachability without sacrificing complexity. This balance makes it an ideal choice for those seeking refined Burgundy Pinot Noir that pairs beautifully with delicate dishes like roasted poultry or herb-infused pastas, yet still holds depth for cellaring enthusiasts looking for long-term aging potential.

Crafted using organic and biodynamic principles championed by Heitz’s sustainable approach, every sip reflects his commitment to preserving terroir authenticity over heavy-handed winemaking techniques. Perfect for connoisseurs who value wines that challenge conventional stereotypes while delivering purity of expression, this bottling stands apart as both a pioneering example of eco-conscious viticulture in Pommard and a testament to Armand Heitz’s passion for crafting wines that speak directly to their place of origin.

With its harmonious blend of grace and structure at 13% alcohol by volume, Clos des Poutures offers an accessible yet sophisticated alternative to more assertive regional counterparts—ideal for special occasions or exploring Burgundy’s lesser-known nuances through an expertly balanced glass.*
