Domaine Kuheiji - Pommard 1er cru - Les Arvelets - Red - 2021

Wine:

Born of stony, ferruginous, mid-slope soils, the 2021 red Pommard 1er Cru Les Arvelets offers a full-bodied, ripe wine. This is a wine of expectation and persistence, perfectly aged in barrels with a good proportion of new wood, which will evolve with finesse on warmer notes of leather and spices. Buoyed by a delicate, extremely suave vintage, it promises to be a fine bottle.

Born in 2017 from a unique human and cultural encounter, crystallized into a new kind of project, Domaine Kuheiji is today one of the most exciting gems of the Côte de Nuits. Its roots are in Japan: Mr. Kuno, owner of the Kuheiji sake brewery and a great lover of Burgundy, has united these two worlds where the importance of terroir and fermentation are at the heart of their expression.

A bridge between Japan and Burgundy, this exclusive 2.5-hectare estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, managed daily by Hirotaka Ito with organic farming practices, produces an impeccable range of wines from the finest crus - Chambolle-Musigny, Corton, Pommard, Morey-Saint-Denis, Nuits-Saint-Georges... - in the pure Burgundian tradition, nurtured by Japanese precision.

This fusion of Japanese vision and Burgundian expertise results in unique, distinctive wines that are already highly sought after, available only through allocation.
