The year 2003 was truly unique with particularly challenging circumstances, an eventful year for Champagne. 
We had a dry winter and spring, an early bud break followed by two serious frosts which meant significant losses, especially of many Chardonnay grapes. Then August was a record-breaker with average temperatures of 28.5°C, ten degrees above the seasonal average! We had our first harvest on August 23rd, the earliest since 1822, but the e...

The Story

Unique to the House of Krug, every Krug Vintage is crafted to be different, to reveal the expression of a particular year. A year with character, a year with a special story to tell in a way that Krug alone can relate. To narrate this story, Krug has blended very expressive wines from a single year, enhanced by a stay of over ten years in the cellars. Krug Vintage is the story of a year as seen by Krug; there are as many stories as there are K...

Wine Information

Our expression of the year 2003, revealed by Krug as a story of vivacious radiance

The 2003 vintage was a year of many circumstances: dry winter and spring, very premature blooming, two serious frosts and a summer of scorching heat. With small yields, healthy grapes, extremely varied levels of maturity and over and under-ripeness, it was Krug's respect of the individual expression of every plot that produced surprisingly fresh, aromatic and...

Vuosikerta 2003

A challenging vintage for Champagne in the face of an unprecedented heatwave during the summer months. The wines are characterised by the year's unusual circumstances. Large-scale frosts destroyed most of the projected yield and they were followed by hail and an extremely hot summer. Harvest was kick-started early on August 21st and yields remained minuscule at 8,100 kg/ha. Atypically round, ripe, sun-kissed wines that miss freshness and backb...

’A much fresher and more well made wine than Bollinger this year for example. A little dull, but noticeably large nose with dark brush strokes. When it opens up it  feels like  the vintage is a bit heavy & clumsy. Otherwise, the wine is again an unmistakable Krug with a structure and building as more than a little reminiscent of the heroic ’76.’ RJ 92(95)

Stunning nose with the smoothest complexity possible. Not heavy at all. Very elegant. Intensive, ripe, but same Krug backbone of elegance as always. Very creamy and round on palate, smooth, polished, but good acidity still. Very ripe acidity though. Dramatic. Very sexy and sensual wine. Super expressive and long. Sweet fruit lingers on forever. 94p

“Although a fine 2003 without a trace of heaviness or over-ripeness, for a Krug Vintage I find it to be distinctly simpler than the great years. The freshness of the wine is striking gained by the rather unusual blend, which has a particularly high Meunier content. Soft, deep, vanilla and tropical fruit character, the nose is now starting to show beautiful post-disgorgement development. Fleshy, round and strong body.”

Tasted blind wine 2. This seems to have a slightly deeper hue with a faint touch of pink, the nose is unadventurous, quite floral, this seems delicate with a touch of savoury, rounded on the palate with a cool element to the plump but quite dry length and finish, certainly seems a tad older than wine 1 tasted alongside which turned out to be the 163rd Grande Cuvee 2007 base. 93/100

Looking very fresh and complex with plenty of richness and caramelized autolysis characters. Quite distinctively fragrant chardonnay notes of citrus, stone fruits and melon. It heads into spicy territory, very resolved and composed, with nutty, bready nuances and chalky notes. There?s trademark kaleidoscopic appeal. The palate has depth and composure with assertive acidity amid supple, fleshy chardonnay grapefruit and white-peach-sorbet flavors, plus lemon pith and nougat. Long, majestic, commanding, dark, nutty, red-grape flavors and phenolics drive the palate long. This suits the style and stacks up admirably.

A subtle yellow-gold colour highlights a reserved finesse and clarity. The nose reveals notes of citrus, plum, honey and brioche. On the palate, fresh summer fruits and red grapefruit are present, along with candied peel, roast chestnut and caramelised apple tart.

ID 414070. Krug started the harvest on 23 August, their earliest ever, but some grapes picked early in October because of vine shutdown. Frost in spring and then heat in summer shrank the crop. This is a wine that positively bounces out of the glass! Real spine and concentration ? exotic, explosive and yet beautifully balanced. Dried orange peel and spice. Great balance on the palate. Broader and more interesting and complex than the Clos du Mesnil 2003. Tasted: 23-Feb-2016

Pale lemon yellow, tiny bubbles. Minerals, apples, some nuts, fruity and rounded nose, cool feel to it for the vintage, less yellow fruit notes. Fresh acidity, elegant mousse, fresh, again some nuts, minerals, apples, elegant and smooth body and texture, detailed, almost creamy, long.
