Echezeaux
Along with Grand Echezeaux,Echezeaux is one of the two Grand Cru appellations of the small village of Flagey-Echezeaux, granted in 1937. The appellation is part of the Côte de Nuits vineyards, lying on the plain between Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée. Like Clos de Vougeot, which is separated from it by a wall, Echezeaux Grands Crus were founded by the Cîteaux abbey in the 12th and 13th centuries. The 36 hectares of the Echezeaux appellation only allow for production that is as confidential as it is qualitative.

Parcels of Echezeaux Grand Cru are planted on clay-limestone soils with east-southeast exposure at an altitude of between 240 and 340 meters. Generally speaking, wines from this appellation can be enjoyed fairly young, but their dense texture and tight grain develop their full potential after 4 to 5 years of cellaring. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, Echezeaux Grand Cru red wines have aromas of violet and cherry.

The Echezeaux appellation is synonymous with exceptional terroirs sublimated by the work of estates offering excellent vintages, such as Domaine de la Perdrix, Domaine Charlopin-Parizot, Domaine Méo-Camuzet and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

"Between refinement and intensity... The Phoenix of the hosts of these vineyards!"

"This is the heart of the Grand Cru. Intense on the nose, subtly perfumed, it has benefited from well-chosen ageing that gently blends with the elements of the wine. It has great finesse, a delicacy well beyond the archetypal Échezeaux." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

"The 2013 Echezeaux has a very refined bouquet with notes of raspberry, crushed strawberry and Morello cherry, supported by fine mineral notes. The medium-bodied palate reveals crisp tannins, lovely acidity and a fairly linear finish that will need time to really flesh out. It seems to be a light, polished Echezeaux at the moment." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Neal Martin) Wooden case delivery on orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

17,5/20 RVF

"With échezeaux, we find beautiful pinot robes, pure fruit supported by firm tannins and beautiful freshness." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2016) From a 30-acre parcel averaging 60 years of age, the Pinot Noir here presents complex aromas blending black fruit, sweet spices and a delicate touch of violet. A wine of great suavity that seduces both in its youth and with age.

Domaine des Perdrix - Echezeaux 2011

Notes : RVF 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 17/20
"Great color, excellent vinosity, firm tannins, still in its infancy but certainly from a carefully ripened and sorted harvest." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A wine that develops aromas of fresh fruit and red berries, with delicate, elegant tannins.

Domaine des Perdrix - Echezeaux 2001

Grand Cru de Prestige for a dream moment!

Noted domain Excellent Robert Parker, ** RVF , 4BD Bettane & Desseauve, Excellent Gault Millau
Visit Domaine des Perdrix has the privilege of owning a superb parcel in the best part of this prestigious Grand Cru of the Côte de Nuits. Visit Echezeaux du Dessus, of 1.2 hectares adjoin the Echezeaux parcels of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. A magnificent terroir, for a wine of great breed, the fruit of draconian work from the vineyard to the cellar, where the patient, long ageing of 18 months 100% in new oak barrels gives it its great finesse. A great wine, perfect for your end-of-year meals!
