Entirely crafted from Pinot Noir sourced in a single parcel of Clos d'Ambonnay, Krug's 2006 Blanc de Noirs Brut Clos d’Ambonnay is one of my favorite vintages at this address. Evoking aromas of spices, smoke, white fruits, brioche, pastry, dried herbs, plum and ripe orchard fruits, it possesses a full-bodied, round and charming mid-palate framed by a crystalline and pure texture. It has a delicately phenolic mid-palate and pinpoint mousse that leads to a long, mineral and saline finish marked by subtle iodine notes and gastronomic bitterness. Classic and precise, this is purity and elegance incarnate. Though already superb, readers should be patient to enjoy this Champagne at its peak.

Krug’s 2006 Clos d’Ambonnay is superb. It offers a beguiling interplay of richness from the warm, solar year and strong mineral underpinnings that wrap it all together. Hints of apricot, plum, baked apple tart and spice soar out of the glass. Soft, curvy and exceptionally well-balanced, the 2006 is the most sensual young Clos d’Ambonnay I have tasted. This is a magnificent showing from Krug. That’s pretty much all there is to it. Best of all, the 2006 is a rare Clos d’Ambonnay that can be enjoyed upon release. Harvest took place over two days and wrapped up on September 22, considered late at the time.
