Lot 386 Details
KRUG CHAMPAGNE VINTAGE BRUT 2006 (OC)

Champagne.

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. September 2020 Drink to 2045 WA 97

1 bt.    per lot $500 - $700
