Échezeaux

Échezeaux (pronounced [e.ʃə.zo]) is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, with Pinot noir as the main grape variety.

The most well-known vineyard owner in Échezeaux is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

In 2008, 34.79 hectares (86.0 acres) of vineyard surface was in production within the AOC, and 1,240 hectoliters of wine were produced,[3] corresponding to some 165,000 bottles.

The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes, but this is practically never used for any Burgundy Grand Cru vineyard.

The allowed base yield is 35 hectoliter per hectare, a minimum planting density of 9,000 vines per hectare and a minimum grape maturity of 11.5 per cent potential alcohol is required.
