Jean-Marc Millot Grand Echezeaux Grand Cru Lynch Bages with a tightly wound coreThe Grands Echzeaux, AOC Grand Cru since 1937, are located in the continuity of the Musigny (Grand Cru from Chambolle) on the southern axis of the Cte, on a less turbulent and more regular surface. They are quite homogeneous, close to the upper part of the Clos de Vougeot (3 to 4% slope, clay limestone soils and slab of Baician limestone), at 250 meters above sea level. Its vines exposed to the east offer a powerful and ample wine. Winemaker notes
