Echézeaux En Orveaux — 2021
-
Introduction
-
The first records of Echezeaux date back to the end of the 13th century. The monks from the abbey of Citeaux were aware of the outstanding quality of this terroir and its wines and had traded certain parcels in order to acquire land in Echezeaux. Our parcel lies in one of the appellation’s sub-climats: “En Orveaux” lies on a slope close to the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “La Combe d’Orveau”.
