Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 18+/20
Pale greenish coppery colour. Intense evolved nose. A certain nuttiness and lots of lime flavour. Masses of acidity still, but real depth too. Light bitterness. Lack of flesh. The structure dominates the filling. Mineral, almost wet cement on the nose! Very dry finish. This one should run and run. Extremely zesty.Drink 2021 - 2038jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (May 2021)

Just at the beginning of its life, this powerful and structured wine is still a bit restrained, yet even at this stage, there are exquisite aromas of ripe pear, marzipan and spice. Although the aromas are still not very expressive, the texture and feel on the palate give the impression of immense potential. There is plenty of extracts and thrilling acidity, but always in perfect balance. As Cavil notes: 'This is a wine marked by verticality and intensity'. The wine was disgorged with an extra-brut dosage in the summer of 2020.Drink 2022 - 2080Charles Curtis MW, Decanter.com (June 2022)

About this wine

Krug

Krug was established in 1843 and has since specialised in producing only prestige and specialised champagnes. Krug is the only firm still producing all its champagne in small oak casks, an essential element for developing Krug's intense bouquet and complex flavours. Today, Henri, Rémi and Olivier Krug, who supervise every step of production, tasting and blending, represent the 5th and 6th generations. With long periods of maturation (6-8 years), Krug champagne continues to age gracefully after release, developing an intensely rich, nutty flavour whilst remaining remarkably fresh. Krug`s finest champagne is Clos du Mesnil, a 100%-Chardonnay based champagne that comes from a small walled vineyard at Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is one of the world`s greatest Blanc de Blanc champagnes.
