From Krug’s minute walled Pinot Noir vineyard in Ambonnay, the 2006 Clos d’Ambonnay is both hedonistic and razor‑detailed, pouring out layers of baked apple tart, apricot, plum and white stone fruit over a deep spine of chalk and spice. The palate is luxuriant yet taut, with a super-fine bead, creamy brioche and pastry tones, and a long, salty, mineral finish that keeps all the warmth of the vintage perfectly in check. This is a particularly sensual and immediately seductive Clos d’Ambonnay, yet clearly built to gain even more nuance with time in the cellar.

Krug Clos d’Ambonnay is an ultra-rare Blanc de Noirs Champagne produced exclusively from a single 0.68-hectare walled Pinot Noir vineyard in the grand cru village of Ambonnay, expressing the power and precision of one plot in one year at a time. Conceived by the Krug family to pay tribute to Ambonnay’s Pinot Noir and the house’s obsessive, plot-by-plot philosophy, it is released only in the very best vintages in tiny quantities, and is prized for its combination of intense depth, fine mineral tension, and remarkable aging potential.
