Domaine Armand Heitz
Domaine Armand Heitz is a renowned wine producer located in the Burgundy region of France. Founded in 1857, the estate has a rich history and is known for its exceptional quality wines.
The estate is situated in the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, specifically in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. This region is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world. Domaine Armand Heitz takes full advantage of this prestigious terroir and produces a range of exceptional red wines.
The estate covers a total of 16 hectares, with the majority of the vineyards planted with Pinot Noir grapes. The vines are cultivated using sustainable and environmentally friendly methods, with a focus on preserving the unique characteristics of the terroir. This attention to detail is reflected in the quality of the wines produced by Domaine Armand Heitz.
One of the estate's most famous wines is the Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru "Champeaux". This wine is made from a single vineyard, located on a steep slope with clay and limestone soils. The result is a complex and elegant wine, with aromas of red berries, spices, and a hint of minerality. It has received numerous accolades and is highly sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world.
In addition to their exceptional Pinot Noir wines, Domaine Armand Heitz also produces a small amount of white wine from Chardonnay grapes. Their Bourgogne Blanc is a great example of this, with a delicate balance of floral and citrus notes, and a crisp, refreshing finish.
The estate is currently run by the fifth generation of the Heitz family, who continue to uphold the traditions and standards set by their ancestors. Their passion for winemaking and commitment to producing top-quality wines has made Domaine Armand Heitz a respected and sought-after producer in the Burgundy region.

Domaine Armand Heitz is a Burgundian wine domaine producing white wines from two of the Côte d'Or's most celebrated appellations: Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru and Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru. The domaine works exclusively with Chardonnay, the definitive white grape of the Côte de Beaune.
Corton-Charlemagne is one of Burgundy's most commanding Grand Cru appellations, situated on the upper slopes of the Corton hill spanning the communes of Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses, and Ladoix-Serrigny. Its limestone and marl soils at elevation produce Chardonnay of considerable structure and aging potential, typically marked by minerality, tight acidity, and flavours that lean toward white fruit, spice, and a stony character that develops complexity with time. Chassagne-Montrachet, by contrast, offers a broader range of terroirs through its Premier Cru lieux-dits, with the Morgeot climat, one of the largest and best-known in the appellation, producing whites of richness and textural depth.
The domaine's range spans from the village-level prestige of a Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot to the rare elevation of a Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, representing two distinct expressions of Côte de Beaune Chardonnay across different soils, elevations, and ageing trajectories.
