The plot ranges in altitude from 277 to 281 meters. The lieu-dit faces southeast. The reddish-brown soil is 40 to 50 cm thick, with light-colored limestone fragments and chert nodules (chailles).

Only indigenous yeasts are used to preserve the authentic origin of the wines. Fermentation lasts about two weeks with some light punching down at the start, then pumping over for a smoother extraction towards the end of fermentation. The main concern is the balance between firmness and suppleness for the tannins. After being lightly pressed in a pneumatic press, the wines are transferred to the cellar by gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Dujac","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (750 ml)","offer_id":67410116378797,"sku":"24-DUJAC-20102RR","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/8829\/8669\/files\/Domaine_DUJAC_Echezeaux_Grand_Cru.jpg?v=1759866911","url":"https:\/\/symbolicwines.com\/products\/domaine-dujac-echezeaux-grand-cru-2024","provider":"Symbolic Wines®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
