Echezeaux Appellation

The Échézeaux appellation 

The Échézeaux appellation is a French AOC that produces Burgundy wines and Burgundy Grand Crus. This appellation, which was created in 1937, is located in the Côte de Nuits wine region of Burgundy. Founded by the monks of Cîteaux in the 12th century, the appellation is said to derive its name from "chezaux", meaning a group of dwellings.

The Échézeaux appellation covers nearly 35 hectares of vineyards and consists of 11 climats, the most renowned of which are: Les Échézeaux du Dessus and Les Cruots, which are planted at an altitude of over 300 meters and whose terroir offers very diverse soils: marly, stony, and red silt soils. The wines of the Échézeaux appellation are medium-aging: from 10 to 15 years, or even more than 20 years of cellaring for the best vintages.

The famous Domaine de la Romanée Conti is among the wine producers under the Échézeaux appellation, along with estates such as: Anne Gros, Domaine Dujac, Domaine Noellat, Domaine Méo Camuzet...
