Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2006 is an exceptionally rare and magnificent champagne that fully embodies the power, precision, and elegance of a remarkable terroir—an intimate 0.68-hectare walled vineyard located in the village of Ambonnay, the heartland of Pinot Noir.

The 2006 vintage offered a perfect balance of richness and freshness, reflected in the expressive character of this extraordinary wine. In the glass, it dazzles with a brilliant golden hue, while the nose reveals seductive aromas of caramelized apple, hazelnut liqueur, bitter orange, and dates, all wrapped in refined harmony and depth.

On the palate, it is rich and creamy, unveiling layers of almond powder, praline, toasted notes, and lemon zest, carried by an airy yet rounded structure and a lively finish with refreshing hints of red currant. Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2006 is an ideal companion to refined meat dishes, noble fish, seafood, and aromatic vegetables, offering an unforgettable tasting experience with every sip.

This masterpiece of champagne craftsmanship reflects the House of Krug’s unwavering dedication to perfection, showcasing the purest expression of a single vineyard in its most noble form.
