Echezeaux Grand Cru
Learn More About This Wine
Located between Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée, the commune of Flagey-Echezeaux boasts exclusively the two Grand crus ‘Grands-Echezeaux’ and ‘Echezeaux.’ Their name derives from ‘chesaux,’ a word of Gallo-Roman origin meaning a group of dwellings.
The plot is located in the “Champs Traversins” Climat, facing east, at an altitude of three hundred metres and is proximate to the highly regarded Orveau Combe. The slope, a considerable proportion of sand and gravel, resulting in a freshness combined with elegance and sophistication to this wine.
Its complex nose features notes of red fruit (raspberry), stone fruit (plum) and flowers (rose, peony) enhanced by subtle touches of spices which will evolve over time toward scents of forest undergrowth and leather. The precise palate is supported by refined round tannins.
