Champagne Krug
Vintage 2006

Krug Vintage Champagne represents today the two-dimensional expression of Krug: three grapes from a single vintage of rare excellence. Not a better or worse Krug, but different, balanced and complete similar to its predecessors. This Champagne is the perfect and irrevocable interpretation that Krug gives of an excellent and unrepeatable vintage and also reveals a unique personality that will then be made concrete through the marketing of a rare and unique product.

The result is a Champagne capable of harmonizing the specific character of a single vintage with the intense style inspired by the Maison Krug.

A combination of generosity, charm, roundness and elegance for Krug Vintage 2006 - renamed "Capricious Generosity" by the Maison, it is an excellent classic Champagne, both generous and intense. The 2006 vintage is remembered for the very hot weather in the Champagne region, with a capricious alternation of periods of drought and intense rainfall, with characteristics similar to the 1989 and 2002 vintages. Krug Vintage 2006 is a dialogue between the wide aromatic palette of Chardonnay (35%) and the promising structure of Pinot Noir (48%) combined with the elegance and balance of Meunier (17%). The balance and refinement of Krug Vintage 2006 is the result of more than 12 years in the Maison's cellars, during which it developed the harmony, generosity and charm that distinguishes it.

As with every Champagne from the Maison, Krug Vintage 2006 improves over time.

Champagne Krug

The Krug Maison interprets the extraordinary adventure of Joseph Krug, a determined man, without compromises, who understood that Champagne essence is the delight itself. He wanted to offer his Clients the best of the Champagne delight, every year, regardless of the climate change. Joseph Krug founded the first and unique Maison able to offer a high quality Champagne. In 1843, when his son was still too young to manage the Maison de Champagne, Joseph Krug wrote down his principles and passed them on to the Maison in a cherry-red leaflet. That leaflet is not only of historic importance for the Maison, but also a a man's last will embracing his family and the Champagne region as well. The Maison Krug's philosophy is about grapes selection from single parcels, expressing their own features and soil characteristics; no hierarchy is needed and all vines are taken into consideration, sometimes even parcels as small as a garden. The Maison is looking for stron characters and a contrast between grapes coming from different lots. Krug is the only Maison de Champagne welcoming and representing all vines in excellent wines.
