For viticultural purposes, the adjacent communes of Vosne-Romane and Flagey-Echzeaux are considered to be one. At the very center of the Côte de Nuits, Flagey-Echzeaux is bordered by Chambolle-Musigny on the north and Clos-Vougeot on the north and east; adjoining Flagey to the south, Vosne-Romane is bordered on its own southern edge by Nuits-Saint-Georges. The two communes wrap around a contiguous slope of southeast and east exposure, in Vosne, to an east and northeast exposure in Flagey. Taken separately, Vosne- Romane covers 388 acres and Flagey-Echzeaux 177 acres, but all the village level and premier cru vineyards of the latter fall under the Vosne-Romane and Vosne-Romane Premier Cru appellations; only the grands crus of Flagey-Echzeaux bear the commune name. Thus, of the 243 acres of Vosne-Romane village vineyards, 210 lie in Vosne and 33 lie in Flagey. The fourteen premier cru vineyards cover just over 141 acres: eleven of these are in Vosne, two are in Flagey, and one is split between the two, with total acreage of 113 and 28 acres, respectively, in each commune.

Between Vosne-Romane and Flagey-Echzeaux there are seven grands crus, arguably the greatest of the Côte d'Or, whose names are synonymous with rarity and costliness. La Tâche, a vineyard of 14.98 acres, Romane- Conti, with 4.46 acres, and La Romane, a tiny parcel of 2.09 acres, all lie in Vosne-Romane and are all solely-owned vineyards of single proprietors who have long produced and commercialized the totality of their production. Le Richebourg, covering 20 acres, and Romane-Saint-Vivant, with 23 are in Vosne-Romane, and are separated from the Flagey-Echaux border by the premier cru of Les Suchots. Grands-Echzeaux and Echzeaux are in Flagey-Echzeaux and cover, respectively, 22.5 and 93 acres. While Grands-Echzeaux is a single "climat," Echzeaux covers eleven vineyard sites clustered around Grands- Echzeaux. Grands-Echzeaux may take the Echzeaux appellation, but not vice-versa. Echzeaux is slightly less concentrated and complex than Grands-Echzeaux, and in contrast to the elegant grands crus in neighboring Vosne-Romane, more robust. Domaine Louis Jadot is proprietor of .86 acres in Echzeaux purchased in 1995 which yields an intense, full and complex wine full of rich, ripe berry flavors and earthy, woodsy overtones. The finish is long and distinctive.
