Armand Heitz directs this small but growing 5 ha domaine that he farms biodynamically. The domaine's roots descend to 1987 when it was substantially larger (more than 20 ha) but over time bits and pieces were either sold or leased to others. It has taken time, but many of these vineyard leases have come back to family control and they will have exciting new additions coming for 2014, 2015 and beyond. The wines are aromatic, pure and expressive of their terroir - classic nods to old-school Burgundy winemaking practices. All Armand's wines are 100% whole cluster fermentations. As he firmly believes that a wine's essence is derived from the totality of the vine. Each component of the vine, from roots to leaves to stems, skins and pulp, plays an important role in a living wine.

Pinot Gris wines, originating from the Alsace region of France and also widely produced in countries like Italy, Germany, and the United States, are renowned for their lush and aromatic character. Made from the Pinot Gris grape, which is a mutation of the red Pinot Noir grape, these wines offer a diverse range of flavors and styles. Pinot Gris wines typically exhibit a medium to full-bodied profile, with flavors ranging from ripe pear, apple, and stone fruit to tropical notes like pineapple and melon. The grape's inherent richness often results in a slightly viscous texture on the palate, adding to the wine's overall mouthfeel and depth of flavor.

Pinot Gris wines are known for their versatility in both winemaking and food pairing. Depending on the region and winemaking style, Pinot Gris wines can range from dry to off-dry or even slightly sweet. In Alsace, for example, they tend to be more full-bodied and complex, while in Italy, they may be crisper and lighter. This versatility makes Pinot Gris wines suitable for a wide range of culinary pairings, from seafood and poultry to creamy pasta dishes and Asian cuisine. With their expressive aromatics, lush texture, and food-friendly nature, Pinot Gris wines offer a delightful drinking experience that appeals to a broad spectrum of wine enthusiasts.
