Echezeaux Grand Cru

The Echezeaux Grand Cru appellation is located above Flagey-Echezeaux in Burgundy . The vineyard covers 35.2 hectares between Vougeot and the Premier Cru vineyards of Vosne-Romanée. Pinot Noir is the only grape variety planted on these poor soils, which rest on Jurassic limestone dating back 175 million years. This appellation includes 11 climats (vineyard sites), such as Echezeaux en Dessus, En Orveaux, and Clos Saint Denis.

The Grands Échezeaux Grand Cru appellation is more exclusive and covers 8 hectares. Its vineyards extend from those of Musigny. The wines are even more powerful, elegant, and refined, yet still retain a masculine character.

The red wines of Échezeaux are true wines for aging and improve significantly after a minimum of 5 years in the cellar. Very masculine, the wines have a tight tannic structure: they are both powerful and structured.
Decanted at the right temperature, Echezeaux Grand Cru wine will perfectly complement a roasted shoulder of lamb, a fine piece of grilled beef or even a pot-au-feu.

Among the forty or so estates that share the Echezeaux appellation, Cavissima has selected several masters producing very high-quality wines.
