Champagne Krug

Clos d'Ambonnay 2006

The Champagne Clos d'Ambonnay by Krug captures the intensity of a singular place, a walled plot of just 0.68 hectares in the heart of Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village among the most celebrated of the Montagne de Reims for its Pinot Noir. From this precious Clos, enclosed by eighteenth-century walls and devoted to a single variety, emerges a rare wine that conveys the pursuit of utmost purity and the faithful expression of a historic terroir, where each harvest reveals a character deeply tied to its origin.

This edition, Vintage 2006, expresses a single variety and a single year, the fruit of a hot and capricious season marked by twenty-three days above thirty degrees, alternations between drought and intense rainfall and a sunny finale that brought to ripeness healthy, splendidly concentrated grapes, harvested on 21 September. Vinification and maturation in fût de chêne precedes a long ageing of at least 14 years on the lees in the cellars of the Maison, capable of lending depth and complexity.

On tasting, Clos d'Ambonnay 2006 reveals a bright and luminous golden colour that introduces a profile of rare breadth and balance. The structure unfolds enveloping and precise, with an airy, round expression supported by a crystalline texture and an elegance that runs through the entire sip. The persistence is long and finely chiselled, marked by a fine gastronomic bitterness and a mineral tension that prolongs the finish, confirming the depth and coherence of a wine conceived to last over time. The sixth edition born from this Clos after the 1995 debut, it is presented in individually numbered bottles, for a total of 4,514 examples and 800 Magnums.

Krug

Maison Krug was founded in 1843 from the vision of Joseph Krug, a man guided by an uncompromising philosophy and by the conviction that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself. His dream was to offer the very best Champagne possible every year, regardless of climate variations, giving rise to the first Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée. In 1848 he committed his vision to a dark cherry notebook, beginning a tradition of transmission that has reached Olivier Krug, the sixth generation now at the helm of the Maison, and is interpreted by Cellar Master Julie Cavil.

The Maison is still based in Reims today, but its historic sites span the whole of Champagne, from the historic Family House, with its old cellars, to the iconic Clos that represent it. In 2024, after seven years of work, the new Joseph winery was inaugurated, built at the Clos d'Ambonnay. It is an entirely eco-designed facility, HQE certified with an "exceptional" rating, that brings together all winemaking activities in a single space, blending discreetly into the landscape. Here, tradition and contemporary energy coexist in perfect balance.

Krug's philosophy revolves around individuality, where each plot is harvested, pressed and vinified separately, without hierarchy, to capture the distinctive character of each terroir. Every year the Tasting Committee appraises around four hundred wines before the art of blending. The Maison is home to two walled Clos: the Clos du Mesnil, 1.84 hectares in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, known for the purity of its Chardonnay, and the Clos d'Ambonnay, 0.68 hectares, prized for the depth of its Pinot Noir. Two terroirs that well represent Krug's approach, where every plot gives life to a wine of unique character.
