The wine region of Échezeaux Grand Cru
Grand Cru of Flagey-Échézeaux (Côte de Nuits) on 37 ha above the Clos Vougeot: 100% Pinot Noir across 11 climats — full-bodied, structured reds with a sustained ruby robe. Delicate nose of red fruits (cherry, raspberry, redcurrant) and floral notes (rose, violet), evolving toward black fruits, mocha, leather, truffle and peppery notes. Silky and harmonious palate, 20-year ageing for the best vintages. Often more approachable young than neighbouring Grands Crus, signature depth.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
