"From the micro-climatically distinct and highly-favored Champs Treversins section of that sprawling cru (with the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti as neighbors), the Prieur 2006 Echezeaux offers one of those examples where this vintage will give 2005 more than a run for its money's worth. Deep, sweetly-ripe cherry and roasted meat are accented with musk oil, iodine, and cherry pit. This is almost implosively intense – threatening a sense of severity - yet it's fine-grained, and carries a sense of energy and lift into its long, savory, mineral-inflected, dynamically complex finish. The overall tone is dark, but an abundance of primary fruit juiciness is proof against austerity."

A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
