TASTING NOTES
Capricious Indulgence

Appearance: An intense gold.

Aroma: Expressive and indulgent, aromas of dried fruit, toasted almonds, hazelnuts, maple syrup, meringue and mandarin come through on the nose.

Taste: Aromatic and fresh, with a long finish, notes of nougat, frangipane and tarte tatin are brightened by the sharpness of grapefruit peel.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Krug 2006 is a delectable match for all cuisines, especially the most aromatic. 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 will be raised to another level by Krug 2006.

ORIGIN

Reims, Champagne France. The House was established in Reims in 1843, by Joseph Krug, a visionary non-conformist with an uncompromising philosophy. Having understood that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself, his dream was to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual climate variations. Paying close attention to the vineyard’s character, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years, allowed Joseph Krug to fulfil his dream.
