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.

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: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
