It is the most perfumed Grand Cru in the Château de Marsannay range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEchezeaux covers some thirty hectares divided into several climats, in the village of Flagey-Echezeaux, immediately north of Vosne-Romanée and above the Clos de Vougeot. The soils mix limestone and stony material washed down from the combe, with varying depths of earth. The appellation gives Pinot Noir that is more slender and more floral than its neighbours to the north, where spice and rose sign the Vosne register. These are wines of lace rather than of force, which open faster than the grands crus of Gevrey while still going the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the most recent vintages of the cuvée, all vintages combined.
