Collection: Échezeaux

Échezeaux is a Grand Cru in Bourgogne, more precisely in Flagey-Échézeaux in Côte de Nuits. The vineyard covers around 74 acres and is divided into 11 climat sections, cultivated by as many as 84 smaller growers. That is part of the explanation for why the wines from here can vary in style and expression, even though they carry the same prestigious name. With so many hands on the soil, the individual climat and the individual grower's craftsmanship become decisive for how the wine ends up tasting.

Red wine is made here, and Pinot Noir is the leading grape. The rules also allow the wine to contain Pinot Gris and Pinot Liébault. These are classic Burgundy wines with good ageing potential, and they typically develop nicely over a period of 10 to 20 years, during which they unfold in complexity and depth.

Échezeaux is a geographically fixed appellation, so every single bottle comes from precisely this piece of land in the heart of the Burgundian tradition. This is where terroir and the individual climat mean everything, and where Pinot Noir is allowed to show its more intricate and nuanced side. The wines hold the elegance and the quiet seriousness that characterise Côte de Nuits, and they reward patience in the cellar.

If you want to find your way into this style, Échezeaux is a good place to get acquainted with the Grand Cru level in Bourgogne. If you already love Burgundian Pinot Noir, here you will encounter an expression with extra depth, structure and the ability to mature over years.
