2022 Armand Heitz Bourgogne Rouge is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir sourced from vineyards around the Côte de Beaune, including sites near Pommard. The nose is airy and perfumed, showing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with violet, subtle spice and a faint herbal lift. The 2022 vintage leans toward freshness and aromatic clarity, with a lighter extraction that emphasizes elegance over power.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "modern Burgundy entry point" - elegant, terroir-driven and incredibly easy to enjoy. It’s lighter and more refined than many entry-level Pinot Noirs, making it perfect for customers who appreciate finesse over power. If someone enjoys Burgundy, Yarra Valley Pinot or lighter reds, this is a very safe and smart recommendation. A great house Burgundy red, ideal with duck, roast chicken or mushroom dishes, and best enjoyed over the next 3–6 years.
