Krug 2006 Giftbox

Krug 2006 is a distinctive vintage Champagne presented in a giftbox, crafted to express the character of a single year. Made from Champagne’s classic trio of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it spent more than ten years ageing in Krug’s cellars before release.

Tasting Notes
An intense golden colour leads into an expressive, generous nose of yellow and dried fruits, toasted almonds, hazelnuts, maple syrup, meringue and mandarin liqueur. On the palate, it is rich and deep yet notably fresh, with persistent aromas of nougat, pastry, tarte Tatin and citrus, finishing with a graceful touch of pink grapefruit peel. Extended cellar ageing has given this Champagne depth and complexity. It is ready to enjoy now, while careful further cellaring may allow its mature character to evolve.

Production
Krug Vintage is a blend of the most expressive wines from one harvest, with the proportions of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier varying from year to year. The 2006 was aged for more than a decade in Krug’s cellars. Specific vineyard, harvesting and vinification details for this vintage are not provided.

Food & Serving
Its richness and freshness make it a fine match for roast poultry, shellfish, aged cheeses or dishes with buttery pastry. Serve well chilled, around 9–12°C, preferably in a generous wine glass to let the aromas unfold. Decanting is not essential; instead, give it a little time in the glass to open.
