Description

For Krug, 2008 gave birth to a great classic Krug Champagne combining structured freshness and diversity of flavors. Krug 2008 displays both power and elegance with a textured palate very characteristic of the wines of the year, which uniquely combines intensity and quality.

For the final blend, the wines selected were those with the best 2008 structure and complexity from the Montagne de Reims Sud, including Aÿ, Mareuil, Bouzy and Ambonnay. The wines from the Meunier plots (25%) bring tension and citrus, while the aromatic wines from the Chardonnay plots (22%) imbue the blend with fruit.

The extraordinary profile of Krug 2008 appears after 12 years in the cellar, gaining in expression, harmony and finesse.
