Krug’s Vintages are the faithful expression of the vintage itself, masterfully interpreted by the Maison.

A Krug Vintage is the assembly of the most expressive wines made in the same year and enriched by over ten years of rest in the Maison’s cellars. Each Millesimato is different and represents the melody of that year sublimated by Krug.

The Maison has its own vineyards in the best areas and has selected Pinot Noir grapes for the blend coming mainly from vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, including Aÿ, Mareuil, Bouzy and Ambonnay as well as the classic Pinot Meunier, which gives tension, and Chardonnay , for the fruity aromas.

The 2004 Vintage, a blend of the three main vines, after 12 years on the lees, turns out to be a great classic.

The final result is surprising for its expressiveness and complexity on the nose and in the mouth, so much so that it will certainly leave an impression on those who taste Krug for the first time but also on those who are an experienced connoisseur of this Maison.

Golden in the glass and with numerous, fine, lively and persistent bubbles. On the nose, rich and broad, it offers hints of quince, ginger and candied citrus fruits, with notes of plum and lemon meringue. On the palate it is tense, as well as intense and harmonious, with notes of honey and brioche, then citrus fruits with lemon, orange, mandarin. Persistent finish thanks to the surprising structure, a refined and precise champagne.

Krug honors this wine with the title of “Shining Freshness”, for its freshness, liveliness and harmony.

With an immense evolutionary potential ahead, keeping the greatness of this Maison unchanged and indeed increasingly increasing it.
