Dominique Laurent Echézeaux Grand Cru Grande Cuvée Vieilles Vignes.
Not as consistently well-regarded as its "grander" neighbor, Grands-Echézeaux, the considerably larger Grand Cru Echézeaux still boasts a range of Top 10 producers with plots on its land.
Echézeaux is a Grand Cru vineyard covering the slopes above the Clos de Vougeot vineyard in the Flagey-Echézeaux commune of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits.
Echézeaux 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.
Like its famous neighbor, it is considerably larger than most Grand Cru vineyards, spanning 37.7 hectare climat is located within the village of Flagey-Echézeaux, 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-Echézeaux up to where the Côte d'Or's vineyards give way to forest.
