The young Armand Heitz directs this small but growing domaine whose range of reds will continue to expand over the next few years, in fact the Morgeot is the latest addition. With respect to the 2017 vintage, Heitz noted that
"after avoiding another potential frost-related disaster we enjoyed a pretty easy and warm growing season. The harvest arrived early as we began picking the Chevalier-Montrachet on the 27th of August and then attacked the rest of the range. Yields were quite good for the pinot but not so much for the chardonnay as there was quite a bit of shatter during the flowering. The fruit was clean and ripe and I used 100% whole clusters for the vinifications which were easy to manage. As to the wines, I like the reds and I really like the whites and both should age well."
A softly toasty nose offers up notes of earth and pepper on the red currant and plum aromas. The nicely rich and attractively textured medium weight flavors possess good depth and persistence on a nicely balanced finish. This should be approachable young if that's your preference.
