Vintage 2006

A cold winter and springtime frosts laid the foundations for this vintage of abundant yields (12,997 kg/ha). Uneventful flowering was followed by exceptionally hot and sunny weather, which lasted until August. A dank August left producers fearful but fortunately warm, bright conditions in September redressed the balance. Harvest commenced on September 9th, producing grapes high in sugar level but notably low on acidity. The general health of the grapes was sufficient, producing wines which excel over the preceding 2005 vintage, another warm and ample year. The year's greatest wines are supple and expressive and despite the richness they escape being overly heavy. Overt and welcoming upon launch, the best come with excellent capacity for ageing. Winey, and richly fruity characters, most Champagnes regrettably miss some tension and finesse. Wines of the vintage include Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Krug Vintage and Dom Pérignon Rosé.

Written Notes

The amply and sweetly fruity nose is lined with yeasty comlexity of baking spices, bread and toast. Lovely purity of pinot driven red fruit on the richly textured palate of fine intensity and generosity.  

  • 93p

Light, green yellow colour. Rich toasty nose with coffee and minty. Dry, firm, very mineral, good mousse with flavours of white fruits. Sophisticated champagne. Bit reserved still now in 2018, but will evolve and reach its peak in 5 to 10 years.
