KRUG VINTAGE: THE MUSIC OF A SINGLE YEAR
At the House of Krug, every Krug Vintage celebrates the distinct character
of a particular year. A Krug Vintage is a blend of the most expressive wines
from a single year enhanced by a stay of over ten years in the cellars. Every
Krug Vintage is different: it is the music of the year, captured by Krug.
TASTING NOTES:
? At first sight, the beautiful light golden colour
promises radiant freshness.
? The nose begins with an expressive bouquet of
ginger, candied citrus and quince, followed by
richer notes evoking lemon meringue tart, plum
and mirabelle.
? On the palate, a very balanced Champagne
with light notes of brioche and honey giving way
to an array of fresh citrus, including oranges,
lemons and mandarins, enhanced by a very
elegant finish.
? Combining delicacy, balance and bountiful citrus notes of all types, Krug
2004, named “Luminous Freshness” by the House, evokes the sensations
of early summer mornings in Champagne.
? Krug 2004 is a dialogue between shining Chardonnays (39%) and the
backbone of Pinot Noir (37%) combined with the vivacity, tension and
citrus notes of Meunier (24%).
? The elegance of Krug 2004 comes after 12 years in the cellars gaining in
harmony, expression and finesse.
