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.

Belonging to the Estaing wines, the Saint Pierre doré is also called Roussellou. With an average budding, this variety is presented in the form of full, winged, elongated and very large bunches, with pulpy, spherical and medium-sized berries. When ripe, the fruit is golden-white in colour, with bronze leaves, which may be three-lobed or whole. The red colour is also found on the internodes of its herbaceous branch. For best results, a fairly long pruning will suit the Saint Pierre Doré, which is not overly afraid of oidium or mildew, but more afraid of grey rot. The characteristics of the roussellou mean that it could play a major role in the production of sparkling wines. The vine does indeed give a very acidic taste, not very sweet and with low degree aromas. It has been noted that the extent of the vineyard recorded in 1958 is 123 Ha, to be reduced to 1 Ha in 1994 on the French territory.
