Details
The 2006 Vintage from Krug is generous and full - a champagne in true Krug style, with an expressive nose and palate. A true show-stopper.
Named ‘capricious indulgence’ by the maison, this prestige cuvée was born of an unpredictable year. The 2006 will go down in history as one of the maison’s greatest.

BLEND & ORIGIN CHAMPAGNE

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
KRUG VINTAGE 2006

The 2006 vintage was considered hot and unpredictable in Champagne, with temperatures regularly reaching 30°C.

 

But there was also rain, and plenty of it.

 

Just over half of the final selected wines are pinot noir.

 

The sun shone during the harvest, and the grapes developed a fine balance, similar to that of 2002 and 1989.

 

Pinot noir (45%), chardonnay (35%) and meunier (20%) make up the blend.
 

FOOD PAIRING KRUG

FOOD PAIRING:
Try characterful, aromatic pairings

Pair this vintage with a rich and fragrant chicken tagine with preserved lemons, or perhaps a slow-roasted leg of lamb with a ratatouille-inspired sauce.
