Description
Grands-Echézeaux is a grand cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, sandwiched between the Echézeaux and Clos de Vougeot Grands Crus. Despite its name (grand means "large" in French), the site is less than one-third the size of its similarly named neighbour. It is, however, generally considered to be a better quality site than Echezeaux, and its wines, made from Pinot Noir, often command higher prices.

Tasting Profile
Nose
With age, the palette tends towards pepper and musk, animal pelts, leather and spices, and prunes. Sometimes the bouquet hints at scents of woodland undergrowth, moss, mushrooms, damp earth, game, fruit preserved in alcohol and mulberries round off this range of aromas. Especially in young wines, one may well encounter scents of pine, dog roses, violets, and fresh cherries.
