The Krug 2006 Vintage Champagne Brut, affectionately nicknamed 'Capricious Indulgence' by the House's Tasting Committee, tells the story of a mercurial year in Champagne, marked by extreme temperatures and oscillating weather patterns, yet ultimately yielding grapes of beautiful indulgence and maturity. This vintage is a blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, and 17% Pinot Meunier, disgorged in late 2018 with a dosage of 4g/l. It's considered one of the vintage's highlights, offering a deep, layered, and full-bodied profile with superb concentration and racy acids. Tasting notes reveal an intense golden colour promising round generosity. The nose is expressive and indulgent, with aromas of yellow and dried fruit, toasted almonds, hazelnut, maple syrup, meringue, and mandarin liqueur, alongside hints of honey, liquorice, menthol, orange peel, and grapefruit. On the palate, it is generous, deep, ample, and fresh, with aromatic persistence and a long finish, showcasing notes of nougat, frangipane, pastry, tarte tatin, and plenty of citrus, finishing with pink grapefruit skin. Reviewers note its mouthwatering vibrancy, focus, and opulence, with a creamy, complex texture. 【A stunning Champagne with remarkable freshness and power, built to age for a decade or two.】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: Krug 2006 is a delectable match for all cuisines, especially the most aromatic. Consider dishes with character such as tajine with lemon confit, ratatouille, slow-roasted leg of lamb, vegetable tian, game, foie gras, flavourful fish, or duck breast grilled over grape vines. 🥂 Event suggestions: This exceptional Champagne is perfect for significant celebrations, milestone anniversaries, or as a luxurious centrepiece for a sophisticated dinner party. Its complexity and ageing potential also make it an ideal choice for a serious wine tasting or a special gift for a connoisseur.
