Échezeaux is a prestigious Grand Cru vineyard located in the Côte de Nuits sub region of Burgundy, France, within the commune of Flagey-Échezeaux. Part of the famed Côte d’Or escarpment, this appellation covers approximately 38 hectares and is known for producing some of the world’s most refined and age-worthy Pinot Noir wines. The terroir is characterized by a mosaic of vineyard parcels, each contributing subtle differences in soil composition and microclimate, resulting in wines of remarkable complexity and nuance.
Wines from Échezeaux are typically elegant and aromatic, offering notes of red berries, violets, earth, and spice, with a silky texture and vibrant acidity that lends them longevity. Though less powerful than some neighboring Grand Crus like Richebourg or La Tâche, Échezeaux wines are admired for their finesse, approachability, and charm. The appellation is part of the larger Vosne-Romanée area, widely regarded as the pinnacle of Pinot Noir production in the world.
