Héritiers Armand Girardin

Pommard Pinot Noir from Burgundy's premier cru heartland.

Héritiers Armand Girardin produces Pinot Noir from Pommard, the storied red-wine commune of Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. The winery's portfolio centers on the premier cru vineyards that define the appellation's character: structured, mineral-driven wines with the depth and aging potential Pommard demands. The Pommard Epenots 1er Cru and Pommard-Rugiens 1er Cru represent the upper register of the range, each showing the precision and complexity that have drawn assessment from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator. The Pommard 1er Cru 'Les Charmots' rounds out the core offerings. These are wines built on terroir rather than extraction—the Côte de Beaune style at its most classical, where Pinot Noir's silken tannins and red-fruit clarity emerge from limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate. Pommard itself sits at the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune, a zone known for wines of particular structure and longevity.
