Echezeaux is a grand cru Vineyard covering the slopes above the Clos de Burgundy/cote-de-nuits/vougeot">Vougeot vineyard in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits. Like its famous neighbor, it is considerably larger than most grand cru vineyards, covering nearly 40 hectares (100 acres) of land. Echezeaux wines, made exclusively from Pinot Noir, are on the Full-bodied end of the Burgundy spectrum, showing red fruit as well as spice and undergrowth characters.
The 37.
7 hectare (93 acre) climat is located within the Village of Flagey-Echezeaux, just North of the famous vineyards of Vosne-Romanée. From its lower (eastern) end to the the upper slopes, the wider vineyard covers land stretching from the edge of Clos de Vougeot and Grands-Echezeaux up to where the Côte d'Or's vineyards give way to forest.
The Musigny vineyard is just to the north, and a line of premier cru vineyards to the South separates Echezeaux from the Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant vineyards.
Echezeaux's lower areas tend to have heavier clay soils and poor drainage – a result of both this soil makeup and their proximity to the valley basin below.
The northeastern quarter of the site is occupied by the independently recognized Grands-Echezeaux climat – acknowledged as being superior to the other Echezeaux wines and thus more deserving of its separate grand cru appellation status.
Since 1937 (when the Echezeaux Grand Cru appellation was created) some prominent voices in the wine trade have suggested that perhaps only parts of Echezeaux are truly of grand cru quality. As in Clos de Vougeot, the climat's fragmented nature has exacerbated this variation in Terroir.
Today, Echezeaux's largest land owner is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, with nearly 5 hectares (12 acres) of vines.

No one can agree on the origin of Syrah, the black grape variety found today in the Rhône Valley, Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon and southwestern France. Several legends speak of its possible origin in Sicily, Persia or Syria. Tests have finally revealed that it originated in the northern Côtes du Rhône valley. Syrah is a fragile grape variety, which fears drought and is susceptible to disease. Its long shoots are not very resistant to the mistral, which is why they are often tied up or cut short. It needs soil rich in trace elements to feed itself. In these conditions, it produces bunches of beautiful bluish-black grapes with medium-sized berries and sweet, spicy juice. Its red wines are deep in colour, with fruity, spicy and floral aromatic complexity and tannins that structure the whole. With little acidity, they are rather full-bodied and have a high alcohol content. Syrah also makes fruity rosé wines, which are pleasant and have a nice finesse.vinified on its own, Syrah is the only red grape variety of the AOC Cornas and is the majority in the AOC Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage. It is also recommended in the Côtes-du-Vallée du Rhône, Saint-Joseph and Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellations. Finally, the AOCs Palette, Baux-de-Provence, Corbières, Côtes-du-Roussillon, Fronton... also produce it. Today, Syrah is a grape variety that is constantly increasing in surface area throughout the world. It is growing in Italy, Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Mexico.

According to lifestyle and happiness guru Gretchen Rubin, you ‘bring your own weather to a picnic’. Ms Rubin, I’d suggest, has never shivered under a tree watching raindrops turn her fish-paste sandwich to mush because the weather forecast was wrong. There are, it’s safe to say, picnics and Picnics. It’s a term that takes in everything from a rubber baguette in a French ‘Aire’ off the Autoroute du Soleil to a four-course spread while listening to opera at Glyndebourne. What’s definitely true is ...
