Grands-Echezeaux is a Grand Cru vineyard site (and corresponding appellation) in the Cote de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. It is located in the village of Flagey-Echezeaux. Despite its name (grand means 'large' in French), the site is less than one third the size of its neighbor Echezeaux.

The wine remains in vat before being transferred to French oak for approximately 18 to 20 months. Typically, depending on the wine, between 20-30% new French oak is used. However, the percentage can be higher for Grand Cru vines, depending on the wine and appellation.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.
