The House of Krug presents Krug Clos Du Mesnil 2006 & Du Soliste À L’orchestre en 2006 ACTE I

House of Krug is delighted to present three creations that honor the year 2006: Krug 2006, Krug Grande Cuvée 162 ème Édition, and Krug Clos du Mesnil. To the delight of Krug lovers around the world, Krug Clos du Mesnil 2006 will now be available in a limited-edition case comprising the three creations from year 2006, sharing a journey of discovery that offers three different musical expressions. Krug Clos du Mesnil 2006 represents the purity of a single walled plot of Chardonnay harvested in 2006, a virtuoso soloist – while Krug 2006 is an ensemble of musicians playing the music of the year. Finally, Krug Grande Cuvée 162 ème Édition, composed around the harvest of 2006 with wines from 11 different years, is the full orchestra playing the most complete symphony Champagne can perform.

The year 2006 was considered a hot one in Champagne, with extreme highs and 23 days recorded over 30°C. It went from dry periods to intense rainfall, and in August, the equivalent of 2 months of rain fell within only 2 weeks. The sun returned to complete the ripening period, shining on a beautiful harvest, which took place between 14th and 16th September 2006. The natural harvest showed beautifully mature grapes with a balance similar to those of 2002 and 1989, making the year 2006 an exceptional one.
