Champagne Krug Vintage 2006 Brut gift box
Notes de dégustation du Champagne Krug Vintage 2006 (Gift Box)
- OEIL : A brut champagne with an intense golden hue, enhanced by bright reflections. Its effervescence is fine and regular, forming a delicate string of persistent bubbles, a visual sign of quality and elegance.
- NEZ : The champagne unveils a subtle and complex aromatic palette. Notes of yellow-fleshed fruits such as peach and apricot harmoniously blend with accents of roasted hazelnuts and toasted bread. Hints of white flowers and honey complete this refined aromatic ensemble.
- BOUCHE : This Krug Vintage 2006 Brut impressed us all with its silky texture and perfect balance. The attack doesn't pull any punches, revealing a refreshing liveliness that then gives way to delicate roundness afterward. Flavors of ripe fruits, citrus zest, and toasted brioche unfold elegantly, supported by well-integrated acidity and a long, persistent finish.
En résumé : Krug's Vintage 2006 Brut will give you an exceptional tasting experience, with a sparkling golden robe, a complex aromatic bouquet, and a harmonious palate. This champagne can be stored for 10 to 15 years in a wine cellar to allow its aromas to develop even further. It will pair perfectly with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry-based dishes, aged cheeses, spicy Asian dishes, or fruit desserts.

The purest quality of Champagne
The Champagne House Krug is now a venerable old lady, born in 1843 in Reims. Its founder, Johann-Joseph Krug (a German citizen from Mainz, which used to be controlled by France), spent 8 years working for the Maison Jacquesson before going his own way. Thanks to his partner Hippolyte de Vivès, and his will to create the best Champagne in the world (and the physical incarnation of pleasure), Joseph quickly succeeded in turning his new brand into an international powerhouse.
When he died in 1866, his son Paul rose up to the task of managing the family business, since he had been trained by Joseph. Like father like son, Paul Krug also aimed to unlock the hidden potential of all his wines and to reinforce the character of each parcel of his vineyard. His hard work truly paid off during the 1880's, when the popularity of the Champagne House Krug skyrocketed.
Since then, many members of the Krug family have helped the estate grow: Joseph Krug II, grandson of Johann-Joseph, in 1910; his son Paul Krug II, during the 1930's; Rémi and Henri Krug, in 1962. Finally, the Krug brand was bought in 1999 by the LVMH Group, which specializes in luxury goods. However, the estate remains in the family, with Olivier Krug (its proud sixth-generation representative) acting as the current director.
