The Grands Echézeaux, AOC Grand Cru since 1937, are located in the continuity of the Musigny (Grand Cru from Chambolle) on the southern axis of the Côte, on a less turbulent and more regular surface. They are quite homogeneous, close to the upper part of the Clos de Vougeot (3 to 4% slope, clay-limestone soils and slab of Baician limestone), at 250 meters above sea level. Its vines exposed to the east offer a powerful and ample wine.
Grands Echézeaux are complex and majestic wines that require time and patience in tasting. They are not revealed immediately, but subsequently show a beautiful length and impressive depth. We recognize here the characteristic of the wines located on the "Faille des Grands Crus". Freshness and depth complete a very lively aromatic palette of black fruits. This wine is strong and elegant accompanied by fresh and complex aromas.
