RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

Broad, ripe and opulent displaying black cherry, spice and earth, all rich and fleshy, lively and expressive...

90-92The Wine Advocate

...complex flavor profile is composed of red and black cherries, minerals, toast, and beef blood whose flavors linger throughout its long and refined finish.

90Stephen Tanzer

Spicy and urgent; at once silky and sappy, with noteworthy intensity and lovely inner mouth aromatics.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Flagey-Echezeaux, Echezeaux

Echezeaux is a 93-acre Grand Cru vineyard on the southern edge of the Cote de Nuits. It up the slope from Clos de Vougeot and Grands Echezeaux and is one of the largest grand crus in Burgundy. The vineyard varies in elevation from 250 to 300 meters, and the terroir includes significant clay as well as thin, rocky soil. The largest proprietors are Domaine de la Romanee Conti, with 11.68 acres; Mongeard-Mugneret with 6.25 acres, and Emmanuel-Rouget, with 3.58 acres. Echezeaux produces red wine.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
