Krug

Vintage 2008 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

Krug believes that each vintage expresses the unique character of a particular year. A Krug Vintage brings together the most expressive wines of a single year, enhanced by over ten years of cellaring. The 2008 Krug Vintage is the story of a fresh, balanced year, which the House's tasting committee has dubbed "Timeless Elegance".

Pinot Noirs make up more than half the blend (53%), mainly from the famous parcels of Aÿ, Mareuil, Bouzy and Ambonnay. The taut Meuniers (25%) bring citrus notes, while the richly-flavored wines from the Chardonnay parcels (22%) lend a fruity note to the whole.

After 12 years in our cellars, this cuvée has gained in expression and presents a remarkable, precise and harmonious profile.

This grand champagne reveals a luminous, intense golden color.

The nose is expressive, rich and generous, with weathered aromas of honey, licorice, menthol, orange peel and grapefruit.

On the palate, the wine is lively, intense and harmonious, with good tension and notes of quince, candied fruit and citrus, yellow kiwi, carambola, honey, apple pie, petit beurre, orange peel, peony and fennel, and floral and menthol touches stand out on tasting.

Krug Vintage 2008 is a perfect match for oyster tartar with lobster emulsion, Parmesan shortbread, Chaource puff pastry with pistachio, white fish in a lemon pepper sauce, or simply passion fruit with lemon meringue.
