✨ Technical Specifications
The Echezeaux Grand Cru from Château de Marsannay is a majestic expression of one of Burgundy's most legendary terroirs. Located in the commune of Flagey-Echézeaux, adjacent to the famous Clos de Vougeot, this historic vineyard was first cultivated by the Cistercian monks of Cîteaux Abbey in the Middle Ages. Château de Marsannay's parcel is situated in the climat of 'Les Treux', where the soils are a complex mosaic of limestone and clay, offering superb drainage and mineral richness. The wine is crafted using traditional Burgundian methods, with hand-harvested grapes, careful sorting, and aging in French oak casks. This meticulous process coaxes out a profound complexity, balancing intense dark fruit notes with earthy undertones, forest floor, and exquisite spice, all framed by silky, structured tannins that reflect the noble heritage of this Grand Cru.
