2006 Krug Clos Du Mesnil Brut Blanc De Blanc

Grandfather said to never make the wine because it would place unnecessary importance on the vineyard as Champagne is all about the blend or the cuvee. The fact that this wine is made from a single vineyard and one single year makes it by default the easiest of all the wines to make at Krug. Notes of vanilla crème, spice and anise with hints of roasted almonds, marzipan, this is the easiest wines to make because it is one varietal from a single vineyard and one single vintage. In great years like 2006 it is incredible, but it is only made in great years so it is always incredible.
