ECHEZEAUX


Naming Grand Cru of the côte de nuit, in Côte-d'Or. Municipality of production:
Flagey-Échezeaux. On the label, the naming GRAND CRU has to appear necessarily at once below the name of each of these naming in an identical cutting of characters. A dress ruby the nuances of which fire generally at magenta tints, purple, rather dark. The bouquet expresses himself on animal and spicy notes, of undergrowth and prune, evolving with the age towards the musk, the leather, the fur, the mushroom. In rather young vintage wine, the aromas often evoke the rose, the violet, the fresh cherry. To the palace, the attack is removed, the balance pleasing on flexible tannins and flavourful curvature. The density of its texture and its tight grain bloom completely later 4 - 5 years of keeping.

 

Situated above the village of Flagey-Échezeaux and in the plain, this vineyard is put between Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée in Côte de Nuit. Exhibition in the east. Grands-Échezeaux prolongs Musigny on the Southern axis of the Coast, according to a less animated, more regular drawing. They are separated from it through the bottom of the coomb of Orveau. Échezeaux cuts all the hillside enters Clos de Vougeot and Premier Crus of Vosne-Romanée.
Grands-Échezeaux and Échezeaux AOC Grand Cru of July 31st, 1937 are, as Clos de Vougeot who is separated from it by a wall, foundations of the abbey of Cîteaux from the XIIth and XIIIth centuries. Of Gallo-Roman root, chesaux meant a block of flats: doubtless a former hamlet.

 

Jurassic geology (175 million years). Grands-Échezeaux is rather homogeneous, close to the top of the Clos de Vougeot (slope from 3 to 4 %, argilo-calcareous grounds and paving stone of the limestone bajocien), in 250 meters in height. Échezeaux offers more diverse grounds (marl bajocienne and rocky cover generally). They stage according to the climates of 230
At a little more than 300 meters in height (13 % of slope at the middle-hillside). We meet here, in the high part, deep grounds (70 in 80 centimeters). Gravel, red silt, yellowish marls, etc. establish a rather complex mosaic.

 

Red wines exclusively, pinot noir grape variety.
