PRESENTATION
Located between Vougeotand Vosne-Romanée, the commune of Flagey
Echezeaux boasts exclusively the two Grands Crus "Grands-Echezeaux"
and "Echezeaux". Their name derives from"chesaux", a word of Gallo
Roman origin meaning a group of dwellings, presumably referring to an
ancient hamlet.
Our plot is located in the"Champs Traversins "Climat, facing east, at an
altitude of 300 metres. The slope, a considerable proportion of sand and
gravel, the proximity of the Orveaucombe-which brings freshness-, all
contribute to imparting unique elegance and sophistication to this wine.
WINEMAKING/AGEING
Handpicking, grape sorting upon arrival at the winery.
Fermenting maceration in thermo regulated wooden vats for 18 to21
days.
Aging in oak barrels (40 to 50% new barrels) for 16 to 18 months.
TASTING
This wine expresses the exceptional character of a great terroir combined
with a great grape variety. Its complex nose features notes of red fruit
(raspberry), stone fruit (plum) and flowers (rose, peony) enhanced by
subtle touches of spices which will evolve over time toward scents of
forest undergrowth and leather. The round, precise palate is supported by
lovely structure boasting round tannins, which make it very balanced. An
exquisite wine with a very long, refined finish.

Serve at 16-17°C (60-62°F).
Long aging potential: 7 to 10 years and more.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Finely prepared roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, pork, duck)
