Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 2006

Baked pear, dried apricot and warm brioche lead the charge, underpinned by a stony, chalky tension that keeps everything grounded. Fine bubbles carry real weight here, creamy in texture yet precise at the edges, never losing focus. The finish is long and faintly briny, with a sea-spray lift that lingers. Rare for such a young Clos d'Ambonnay to drink this openly, yet the architecture beneath suggests decades of development still ahead. A singular expression of Ambonnay Pinot Noir.
