Written Notes

This blend of multiple vintages is Krug’s entry level Champagne, but superior to many’s luxury cuvee. It was clean, racy and full, all Krug in its personality and a great way to start any meal

Rich nose with toasted almonds, orange peel and blossom. Highly aromatic. Wow effect on the palate. Depthless complexity and finesse. So fine and yet dense. Beautiful composed with lots of dark fruit and toasted notes, yet backed up by a massive ripe acidity. 97p.

En super standardchampagne! Själva vill de hellre kalla vinet för « multivintage ». Med den nya appen ‘KrugID’ kan man få reda på ‘the story behind the label’. Äldsta vinet från ‘88, yngsta från ‘03. 120 viner från 10 olika årgångar. De bästa exemplaren har ännu högre poäng än vad vi anger här. Levererar alltid på alla plan! KrugID 211021

Pale lemon yellow, tiny bubbles. Layered and complex nose, slightly less powerful than I remember my last bottle. Fresh acidity, lively mousse, playful and elegant, very long finish. Feels more rounded and riper than before.
