Vineyard Notes: The Grand Cru of Les Échezeaux lies to the west and southwest of the Clos de Vougeot, at the mouth of the Combe d'Orveau valley, where the slope is steep (6.5%). The plot ranges in altitude from 277 to 281 meters. The lieu-dit faces southeast. The reddish-brown soil is 40 to 50 cm thick, with light-colored limestone fragments and chert nodules (chailles). The substratum underlying Les Échezeaux is very probably composed of Premeaux limestone.

Winemaking: Our grapes are vinified with little or no destemming, depending on the nature of the vintage. Only indigenous yeasts are used to preserve the authentic origin of the wines. Fermentation lasts about two weeks with some light punching down at the start, then pumping over for a smoother extraction towards the end of fermentation. The main concern is the balance between firmness and suppleness for the tannins. After being lightly pressed in a pneumatic press, the wines are transferred to the cellar by gravity.

Ageing: The wines will spend 14 to 18 months in oak barrels. We buy the wood two years in advance to guarantee sufficient drying time for the quality of our barrels. Elevage plays a key role in refining the tannins, which is why we use a significant proportion of new wood.

2001 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2019

Safra clássica, vinhos frescos e de longa guarda. Encantadores aromas florais, especiarias, muita pitanga, mentolado, ervas frescas, tomilho em um singelo e quase imperceptível inicio de transformação para aromas secundários. Boca explosiva e potente, com acidez e ataque impactantes. Ainda crocante, mas seivoso, ótimo extrato e material sólido, profundo e aderente. Bela pureza de fruta, que se confirma no fim de boca complexo e muito persistente. Grande vinho com 17 anos e ainda jovem.

I love the richness and depth of fruit in this wine. Blueberry and cedar, hints of flowers. Full and balanced. Superb.

This beautifully perfumed wine shows structure, dark tannins as well as great charm. The acidity is layered with black fruits and dry tannins. Age for 7–8 years or more.

(1997) Lovely pale mahogany colour. Gorgeous animal nose with burnt sugar and deep, caramel, slightly sherried scents, but beautiful. Really rich mocha coffee notes becoming more and more pronounced. Lovely on the palate too: mouth filling, rich, lovely sour cherry fruit and a raft of soft, silky tannin. A sumptuous wine with clove spice notes in the finish and great length - really first class. A complete and beguiling wine.
