Discover the Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2006 Case, a rare gem in the world of champagne. This prestigious champagne comes from a unique vineyard, the Clos d'Ambonnay, famous for its exceptional terroir and meticulous winemaking. The year 2006 was characterized by being especially warm in the Champagne region, reaching extreme temperatures with 23 days exceeding 30°C.

However, the sun returned in time to ensure an excellent end to ripening, culminating in a splendid harvest. The grapes reached a balance comparable to the outstanding years of 2002 and 1989, both recognized for their beauty and abundance. The harvest at the Clos d'Ambonnay took place on September 21, 2006, with grapes in perfect health and great concentration. After more than 15 years in Krug's cellars, the Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2006 exhibits exceptional finesse. Like other Krug champagnes, the Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2006 is expected to continue evolving and gaining complexity over time. Its limited production and unique origin make this champagne a coveted item for collectors and connoisseurs. Ideal for very special occasions or as an investment in an exceptional wine collectible piece.
