"Jayer Gilles' 2006 Echezeaux du Dessus unites remarkably sweet, viscous, enveloping, liqueur-like cassis and black raspberry with firm, finely-tannic structure and undertones of crushed stone and grilled, charred meats. For all of its density and abundance of tannin, the over-riding impression here is creamy and soothing, and for all of that creaminess and the wine's sheer sweetness of fruit, a sense of freshness enlivens its giraffe's neck-like finish. While this is wonderfully seductive now, it isn't showing anything like the depth and complexity I expect it will exhibit in 4-5 years, and I would make plans to enjoy it over a dozen or more."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
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.
