Using Delectable library photo of Krug vintage. The one I tasted was 2006. A blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 17% Pinot Meunière. Quite a high % of Chardonnay for Krug in this warmer year. So balanced and thorough. The aperitif we had at a Burgundy dinner in Sydney on August 7. Only catching up with notes now.

The 2006 Vintage is a rich, opulent Champagne. Passion fruit, apricot, tangerine peel and spice all show the signs of a warm, radiant year. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2006 is an especially opulent Krug endowed with fabulous balance and tons of class. Warm weather during the summer yielded an extroverted Champagne that is already quite delicious. There was some disease pressure in August, but favorable weather in September helped stave that off. The rich, dense style of the 2006 stands in sharp contrast to the 2004 and 2008 in this tasting. Disgorged: Spring 2019. Krug ID: 219022. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2024)

A blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 17% Pinot Meunier, Disgorged end of 2018. Nice golden yellow color with aromas of fruit, spice and brioche notes, nice mousse and bubble flow. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of white peaches and ripe apple with hints of toasted nuts and lemon zest. Long finish ending with rich yeasty mineral character. Drinks well now but will go another 15 years!
