Grands-Echezeaux is a grand cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, sandwiched between the Echezeaux and Clos de Vougeot Grand Crus. Despite its name (grand means "large" in French), the site is less than one-third the size of its similarly named neighbor.

There are more than 20 different owners in Grands-Echezeaux, making it hectare-for-hectare as fragmented as Echezeaux.
Romanée St Vivant

Wines from Romanée-Saint-Vivant are considered the lightest and most delicate of the grand cru wines from Vosne-Romanée and neighboring Flagey-Echezeaux.
La Romanée (Grand Cru)

Surface: 0.8452 hectare (2.088 acres) in Pinot Noir
Age of vines: in 2017, 20% is 102 years old, 50% is 62 years old and 30% is between 22 and 42 years old
Average production: 12 barrels - 3,600 bottles

Soil and subsoil: The reddish-brown surface rests on a bed of Prémeaux limestone on the west side of the parcel. The beige-pink limestones are compact, forming a thin crust, with spots of “Chailles” (nodules of silica, almost like flint) flush with the cross erected in the southwest corner of this Grand Cru, where Les Reignots begins. The eastern part of this particular parcel probably rests on deeper clayey limestone that are formed in plates.
