Krug Clos Du Mesnil 2006 Giftbox

Krug Clos du Mesnil 2006 is a rare, single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs Champagne, made exclusively from Chardonnay grown in a 1.84-hectare walled plot in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. First created with the 1979 vintage, Clos du Mesnil challenged Champagne’s blending traditions by expressing one vineyard in one year; this giftbox presents the 2006 vintage in that distinctive style.

Tasting Notes
A deep, intense golden colour leads to aromas of ripe wheat, toffee apple, caramel, ripe citrus and lightly toasted nuts. The palate is generous and broad, opening with brown sugar, candied ginger and pecan before citrus notes bring a lively lift. A long, elegant finish balances richness with freshness. The supplied information does not specify a drinking window, so no precise aging recommendation can be given. Its concentration and structure make it a considered choice for cellaring, with the bottle’s evolution depending on storage conditions and personal preference.

Production
The wine comes from the 1.84-hectare Clos du Mesnil parcel in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a village renowned for Chardonnay. The 2006 is made solely from Chardonnay harvested from this single vineyard and vintage. Specific harvesting methods and vinification details for this release were not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled, around 10–12°C, in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass to allow its aromas to unfold. Its ripe citrus, toasted-nut and gently sweet notes pair well with scallops, lobster, roast poultry or aged hard cheeses. Decanting is optional; if desired, a brief decant in a cool room can help the wine open, but avoid prolonged aeration.

Producer
Champagne Krug is a historic Champagne house known for its emphasis on expressive, carefully crafted wines. The Clos du Mesnil project began with the 1979 vintage, when the Krug brothers chose to bottle Chardonnay from a single parcel and year—a departure from the region’s customary focus on blending wines from multiple sites. The cuvée has since become one of the house’s defining single-vineyard Champagnes.
