在眾多的香檳品牌中，Krug不論在品質、知名度都是屬於最頂尖的，自1843年創立傳承至今第六代，一直被譽為頂級香檳酒廠。Krug香檳迷倒眾生的原因之一，就是耗時費工的釀造方法：堅持只使用第一道壓榨的原料葡萄汁，然後將其放入小型橡木桶內進行第一次發酵，發酵木桶會使用2~30年，完全不用新桶；所有釀造程序都是由技術純熟的酒廠人員以手工作業，包括繁複的搖瓶程序。Krug這個釀酒傳統從創立到現在依然堅守不變。

As I reported when it was released, Krug's 2006 Brut is clearly one of the vintage's highlights. 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.
