Description
The 2006 is an exciting release from Krug, drawing comparisons to the excellent 1989, ’90 and ’95 vintages. The nose entices with crisp apple, lime peel and floral aromas. With time in the glass, there’s chalk and flinty minerality, with hints of liquorice and star anise. The palate has notes of fresh pastry, baking spice and white peach. Krug’s trademark weight is present, harmoniously balanced with acidity. This will age magnificently.

About this wine
Krug
Krug was established in 1843 and has since specialised in producing only prestige and specialised champagnes. Krug is the only firm still producing all its champagne in small oak casks, an essential element for developing Krug's intense bouquet and complex flavours. Today, Henri, Rémi and Olivier Krug, who supervise every step of production, tasting and blending, represent the 5th and 6th generations. With long periods of maturation (6-8 years), Krug champagne continues to age gracefully after release, developing an intensely rich, nutty flavour whilst remaining remarkably fresh. Krug`s finest champagne is Clos du Mesnil, a 100%-Chardonnay based champagne that comes from a small walled vineyard at Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is one of the world`s greatest Blanc de Blanc champagnes.
