On my October 2017 trip to Burgundy I had the chance to visit Armand Heitz at Domaine Heitz-Lochardet to taste the 2016s from bottle.
Armand Heitz, October 2017
For further info about the estate see the article from the tasting of the tasting of the 2015s from Heitz-Lochardet
Furthermore here is an older article with a bit more background – check the producer insight.
Armand is charging forward getting more and more of the vineyards back to the family estate. This is often a long proces, if the vineyards are rented out via long metayage contracts. Great to see that Heitz-Lochardet will be producing more wines in the years to come – these are lovely wines, that provides delicious drinking.
Armand Heitz has made some lovely wines in 2016 – despite being hit by the April 2016 frost en several appellations.
With no further ado – lets taste some 2016s.
The red 2016s from Domaine Heitz-Lochardet – tasted from bottle
The 2016s are more firmly structured, and less generous than the lavish 2015s … which certainly is fine for the whites, but more a question of personal preference for the reds.
