The Clos du Mesnil 2006 Krug in Wooden Box encapsulates the purity and precision of a single vineyard, the legendary Clos du Mesnil, known for its unique terroir in the heart of Champagne.

The year 2006 was notable for being particularly hot in Champagne, reaching extreme temperatures with 23 days exceeding 30°C. This volatile climate alternated between periods of drought and episodes of torrential rain; in August, rainfall equivalent to two months' worth was recorded in just two weeks.
