Coming from a 1.35 ha plot resting on clay-limestone soil, the Echézeaux Grand Cru from Domaine Nicole Lamarche (formerly François Lamarche) comes from Pinot Noir vines with an average age of 30 years. Cultivated according to the principles of organic viticulture in the Burgundy region, this cuvée benefits from aging in oak barrels for 16 to 20 months, with the proportion of new oak varying according to the vintage, but reaching up to 100% in certain years.
