About This Champagne
Krug 2006 turns a hot, erratic season into a round and enveloping Champagne that the Tasting Committee saw as capricious and generous in equal measure.
2006 swung between intense heat and dry spells broken by heavy rain.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Yellow and dried fruit, toasted almonds, hazelnut, maple syrup, meringue and mandarin liqueur.
- Palate: Generous, deep and ample yet fresh, with nougat, frangipane, pastry, tarte tatin and plenty of citrus.
- Finish: Persistent, closing on pink grapefruit skin.
Serving & Food
Pour at 10 to 12°C into a large tulip glass, where its aromas open steadily. Krug rates it with aromatic food, so try a tagine with preserved lemon, slow-roasted leg of lamb or duck breast.
Good to Know
What's the blend? 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier.
What's the style? Round, generous and spiced.
