The 2021 Armand Heitz Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes is a refined and classically styled Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of Vosne-Romanée’s respected Premier Cru vineyard sites. The cooler 2021 vintage has produced a wine of freshness and precision, opening with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry layered with violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is elegant and finely structured, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long mineral-driven finish. The limestone-rich soils of Les Chaumes contribute finesse and tension, while restrained oak maturation adds texture and savoury depth without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. As the wine develops in the glass, notes of cedar, dried herbs and forest floor gradually emerge, adding further complexity and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Premier Cru Burgundy for Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a more refined and terroir-driven expression of Vosne-Romanée. Approachable with decanting in its youth, though it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years. Ideal with roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled quail or herb-roasted lamb.
