The Échezeaux vineyard in the French commune of Flagey-Échezeaux is known for its soft, velvety Pinot Noirs. The calcareous, clay soils impart aromas of red berries, violets, and tobacco to the wines. These wines are approachable in their youth but possess excellent aging potential. The vineyard benefits from a temperate climate and traditional cultivation methods that focus on balance and finesse.
Pinot Noir from Burgundy is considered the king of red wines: delicate, yet profoundly complex. The chalky soils and cool climate produce wines characterized by red berries, violets, undergrowth, and a subtle spiciness. Whether from the Côte de Nuits (powerful, long-lived) or the Côte de Beaune (elegant, silky), Burgundy Pinot Noir enchants with its finesse, silky tannins, and unforgettable length.
