Prieur's 2006 Musigny – from the cru's heat-trapping southern edge – is vividly black raspberry in fruit character. It emits alluring high-toned distilled fruit esters, but is almost monolithic in its palate-saturating intensity and at least for now, neither charming nor graceful. Cinnamon, tar, and chewy fruit skin character convey pungency somehow appropriate to the wine's sense of sappy, resinous cling and tannic grip, although the structure here is certainly covered in fruit. This is almost certain to remain formidable for a decade or more, but whether it will ultimately be a truly great expression of this blessed site, I am less confident.Enologist Nadine Gublin reports that the Prieur team performed a severe triage of 2006 Pinot – especially from the Cote de Beaune – both in the vineyards and on tables. The fine results speak for themselves, boasting (with one exception) purity of fruit and complexity, as well as a range of distinctively 2006 virtues. Their Chambertin – which, like the wine from their other grand crus, had been assembled but not yet bottled when I last tasted them – presented a special challenge due to the degree to which the Prieur parcels were damaged by hail, and a decision was made to declassify even the small amount of fruit that was vinified. The Pinot crop was harvested at 12.5-13.5% potential alcohol; required no adjustment; and was all destemmed. The wines were (or will for the most part have been) lightly plaque-filtered.Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
