2021 Heitz-Lochardet Pommard 1er Cru 'Clos des Poutures' Rouge

The vines are farmed using biodynamic principles and following the moon calendar. Armand and his team are also introducing permaculture in the vineyard. The whites are vinified traditionally with minimal use of oak and batonnage. The reds are vinified in whole clusters. Pumping over rather than punching down for a soft extraction The wines are aged in oak barrels for 10 to 15 months with around 20% new oak. The wines are not fined or filtered.This 100% pinot noir grown in the center of Pommard offers a nose of lovely red fruit, spiced with peony rose and cinnamon. Some oakiness is present but not dominant. On the palate fine concentration and length. The floral and fruity aromas are well balanced wuth an airy yet firm structure.
