Produced in the commune of Flagey-Echézeaux, this red Grand Cru is one of the most famous and noble wines in Burgundy. Simply one of the best red wines there is!
This Grand Cru Echezeaux offers a relatively dark colour that ranges from magenta to purple purple in its youthfulness to tiled colours after a beautiful evolution.
The aromas are of a finesse and complexity specific to the great red wines of the Côte de Nuits: floral notes (violet, rose) as well as red fruits. As it matures, this wine will offer spices, an animal and undergrowth side on the nose, to evolve further towards leather or mushroom.
A wine with a frank attack, very ample and dense on the palate, with generous persistence.
Like most Grands Crus, it will benefit from being opened after many years of ageing: at 20 years old, it is now at its peak!
Pieces of furry game or roast meats, beautiful pieces of red meat.
Powerful and racy Burgundy red wine: steaks or beef ribs, roast beef, sweeteners

Ready to tasteOne of the oldest wine-growing families in Vosne Romanée, Domaine Michel Noëllat et fils is nourished by a unique know-how associated with innovative ideas.
Domaine Michel Noëllat in Vosne Romanée produces village, premier crus and Grands Crus de Bourgogne appellations from the Côte de Nuits.
The harvest and vinification are done in a very demanding way: for red wines, the grapes are harvested by hand, sorted, and then transported to the winery in small tanks to avoid crushing the berries and early oxidation.
They are completely destemmed and then put into open stainless steel tanks, the temperatures being controlled by thermo-regulation.
The reds macerate at low temperature for 3 days and then fermentation takes place in the vats for about 2 weeks.
Regular pumping over is carried out and the cap is picked 4 to 5 times during the vinification period.
The wines are aged in French oak barrels of various origins.
The proportion of new barrels is between 30% for the villages and 50% for the 1er Crus and Grands Crus.
Bottling is carried out after 15 to 18 months of ageing in barrels.
