The 2006 Champagne Vintage of the Maison Krug is the result of a high quality harvest, characterized by a very hot year in Champagne, where periods of intense heat alternated with high rainfall. The result is a full-bodied and satisfying Champagne Brut, which has found its balance and elegance thanks to the 12 resting in the cellars of the Maison Krug.
Features of this Champagne
In the glass, the Krug Grande Cuvée has an intense gold color. The scent is a set of yellow fruits, dried fruits, toasted almonds, hazelnuts, maple syrup, meringue and Mandarin liqueur. The taste is elegant, full-bodied and persistent, with notes of nougat, frangipani, pastries, tarte tatin and fragrant citrus.
Recommended pairings tasting this Champagne
Krug’s Vintage 2006 goes well with first or second courses of fish, steamed shellfish, or seafood. Another valid option is pairing with sushi or mature cheeses. To make this Champagne express at its best, it is recommended to make it breathe 15/30 minutes before serving, which must take place at a temperature of 10º-12ºC in a narrow glass with a pointed bottom so as not to disperse the perlage.
