Bettane & Desseauve
"A blend of refinement and intensity... The Phoenix of these vineyards!"
“This is the very essence of a Grand Cru. With an intense, subtly fragrant nose, it has benefited from carefully selected aging that blends seamlessly with the wine’s components. It displays great finesse and a delicacy that far surpasses the archetype of Échezeaux.” (The Bettane + Desseauve Guide)

About the wine:
Here we are at the heart of the Grand Cru. With an intense, subtly fragrant nose, it has benefited from carefully selected aging that blends seamlessly with the wine’s components. It displays great finesse and a delicacy that goes far beyond the archetype of Échezeaux.
About the estate:
Run by the Devillard family, who also own Château de Chamirey in Mercurey, the vineyard is situated on remarkable terroirs in the southern part of the Côte de Nuits, and its grapes are vinified in the spirit of modern wines, seeking high ripeness and deep, voluptuous textures. The results have been impressive in recent years, even at the village level, with wines that are now very refined—a departure from the more robust styles we used to know. The 2018 vintage has captured all its potential here; these will be wines for aging, and indeed for very long aging in the case of the Nuits and Échezeaux. There is also a delightful red Burgundy.
