Note di degustazione
Predominantly premier and grand cru vineyards. 43% Chardonnay from Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Trépail, Villers-Marmery, 42% Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Aÿ, Bouzy, 15% Pinot Meunier from Saint-Gemme, Villevenard. 12 years on the lees, disgorged summer 2013, dosage 6 g/l. A ripe, rich and generous vintage, according to Olivier Krug. Pale gold. Gently roasted and toasty, grilled nuts, lightly spicy. Millefeuille suggests Krug. Deep, rich, generous, gloriously mouth-filling but so fresh. Majestic, sumptuous. As it opens, more cedary, more bottle age in evidence. Deep, powerful, almost overwhelming as it develops in the glass. (JH)

Dense, tense on the nose but by now quite opulent on the palate. This is probably a pretty good time to enjoy this wine. (JR)
Brioche, dried pear, smoke, almonds, chamomile and wild herbs are all laced together in Krug's 2000 Vintage. A wine of striking depth and resonance, the 2000 is absolutely gorgeous today. The first signs of very early tertiary complexity have begun to appear while the acidity is softening, both of which make the 2000 delicious today. At the same time, there is no hurry. I imagine the 2000 will still be gorgeous 20 years from now. Slight elements of reduction linger on the close. The blend is 43% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier, a rare vintage in which Chardonnay is quite high.
A very young and delicate wine that will require long time before you ease the cork. In the current situation extremely mineral-driven and sea-splashed. Iodin, iodine, oyster shells, and small nice bready tone in the fragrance. Crispy clean and beautiful balanced flavor. Impressive acidity and lively elegance

Krug is a remarkable Champagne House which only makes prestige cuvées. The wines – with their distinctive rich, complex, oxidative style – are some of the region’s best.
