The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Born in 2017 from a unique human and cultural encounter, crystallized into a project of a new kind, the Kuheiji Estate stands today as one of the most exciting jewels 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 merged these two worlds where the significance of terroir and fermentation are at the heart of their expression.

Serving as a bridge between Japan and Burgundy, a connection between two cultures, this discreet estate of 2.5 hectares located in Morey-Saint-Denis, managed daily by Hirotaka Ito in organic farming, launches an impeccable range of wines across the finest crus - Meursault, Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin… - in the pure Burgundian tradition, nurtured by Japanese precision.

The Japanese vision combined with Burgundian expertise thus gives birth to unique, identity-rich wines that are already highly sought after, available exclusively by allocation.
Wine Born of stony, ferruginous, mid-slope soils, the 2020 red Pommard 1er Cru Les Arvelets offers full-bodied, ripe aromas of fruit with plums, juicy cherries, and redcurrants. This is a persistent wine, perfectly matured in barrels with a good proportion of new wood, which will evolve with finesse on warmer notes of cocoa, leather, and spices. Carried by a great vintage, delicate and assertive, with a good tannic structure, and extremely suave, it is already a great wine.
