As I reported when it was released, Krug's 2006 Brut is clearly one of the vintage's highlights. Offering up aromas of dried fruits, pear, freshly baked bread, caramelized apples, honeycomb and toasted sourdough, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with superb concentration, racy acids and an impressively tightly wound profile for this demonstrative vintage. I observed last year that this is surprisingly reserved for the vintage, and if anything, that quality is even more in evidence today. While many 2006 Champagnes are likely to be at their best in their demonstrative youth, this is one wine unquestionably built for the long haul.

This is a very deep and layered vintage Champagne with a round, ample mouth feel. It's full-bodied with lots of cooked apple and mirabelle, as well as biscuit undertones. Hints of stone and flint. It's flavorful. Delicious now and will age beautifully. Drink or hold.

98 /100

Light golden yellow, with silver reflections and a fine, lively mousse. Nuances of fresh, bright cherry, greengage, white flowers, fine pastry, a touch of fruit cake, orange marmalade and some honey. Powerful, equipped with fine fruit expression and subtle nougat, it is textured and round. The wine has a fine acid structure, minerality, discreet fruit, a breath of smoked bacon, mocha and caramel in the echo. It is a great, complex food companion, already very enjoyable. It is salty, textured, very long and nevertheless very light-footed and lively, a textured food companion with definite aging potential.(10/5/2023).

About the grape

Champagne Blend

Champagne Blend refererer til en af verdens mest karakteristiske vinstile – de mousserende vine lavet af Pinot Noir, Chardonnay og Pinot Meunier, der er mest berømt forbundet med Champagne-regionen i det nordlige Frankrig.

Begrebet er dog også kommet til at omfatte vine lavet efter méthode traditionnelle (den traditionelle metode) rundt om i verden – især i New World-lande som USA, Australien, New Zealand og Sydafrika.

Pinot Noir og Chardonnay betragtes traditionelt som blendets stjerner og bruges typisk i nogenlunde lige store mængder i New World-eksemplarer. Den mindre glamorøse Pinot Meunier ses sjældent uden for selve Champagne-regionen.

- Chardonnay: Bidrager med finesse, elegance, citrusnoter og mineralitet
- Pinot Noir: Tilfører struktur, fylde, røde bær og dybde
- Pinot Meunier: Giver frugtighed, blødhed og tilgængelighed

Klassisk Champagne-blend kombinerer alle tre druer for balance mellem finesse, frugt og struktur.

Champagne er for dig, der søger luksus, fejring og finesse. Det er en vin med håndværk, tradition og umiskendelig elegance – perfekt til særlige lejligheder, men også som aperitif eller til mad.

Serving

Champagne fortjener den rette behandling for at vise sit fulde potentiale. Med korrekt temperatur, glas og håndtering får du den optimale oplevelse.

Temperatur: Kølig, men ikke iskold

Server Champagne ved 6-10°C – kølig nok til at bevare friskhed og bobler, men ikke så kold at aromaerne dæmpes.

Lette, unge Champagner (NV Brut): 6-8°C – koldere temperatur fremhæver friskhed
Vintage og престижecuvées: 8-10°C – lidt varmere for at frigive komplekse aromaer
Sådan køler du ned:

Læg flasken i en isbøtte med is og vand (ikke kun is) i 20-30 minutter
Alternativt: Læg den i køleskabet i 3-4 timer før servering
Undgå fryseren – for hurtig nedkøling kan skade aromaerne
