Krug 2006 Brut is a vintage white blend Champagne consisting of 48% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay, and 17% meunier grapes. The year 2006 was considered a hot one in Champagne. It went from dry periods to intense rainfall. Fortunately, the sun returned to complete the ripening period. Grapes had a balance close to 2002 and 1989, which were also beautiful and generous years.
Nose: The 2006 vintage has a very expressive and indulgent nose revealing yellow and dried fruit, toasted almonds, hazelnut, maple syrup, meringue and mandarin liqueur. There are patinated aromas of honey, licorice, menthol, orange peel and grapefruit.
Palate: On the palate it is generous, deep, ample and fresh with aromatic persistence and a long finish. It has notes of nougat, frangipane, pastry, tarte tatin, plenty of citrus with a beautiful finish on pink grapefruit skin.
