KRUG 2006

KRUG 2006 - CAPRICIOUS INDULGENCE

At the House of Krug, every Krug Vintage celebrates the distinct character of a particular year. A Krug Vintage is a blend of the most expressive wines from a single year enhanced by a stay of over ten years in the cellars. Every Krug Vintage is different: it is the music of the year, captured by Krug.

Krug 2006 is the delectable story of a mercurial year in Champagne, with extreme high temperatures and weather that oscillated from dry periods to intense rainfall. Marked by an intense, generous, enveloping and elegant melody, this champagne is nicknamed “Capricious Indulgence” by the Tasting Committee. Krug 2006 is an elegant and round blend of Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (35%) and Meunier (20%).


▪ Krug 2006 reveals the surprising story of a capricious climate with extraordinary results. This Champagne caresses the palate while expanding until a long and elegant finish completes the experience./br> ▪ As with all Krug Champagnes, Krug 2006 will continue to gain with the passage of time.

▪ The full story of every bottle is revealed via its Krug iD, the six digits on the back label.

TASTING NOTES:
▪ At first sight, an intense and brilliant golden hue. An expressive nose that is rich and ample with patinated aromas of honey, liquorice, menthol, orange peel and grapefruit. Vivacious, intense and harmonious with great tension on the palate, expressing notes of quince, candied fruits and citrus, yellow kiwi, star fruit, honey, apple tart, butter cookies, orange peel, peony and fennel, with floral and menthol undertones. It has a long, balanced and precise finish with astounding structure.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING INSPIRATION:
▪ Dishes with character such as tajine with lemon confit, ratatouille, slow-roasted leg of lamb, vegetable tian, game, foie gras, flavourful fish or duck breast grilled over grape vines will be raised to another level by Krug 2006.
