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.The extraordinary profile of Krug 2008 comes after 12 years in the cellars, gaining in expression, harmony and finesse. The expression of the year 2008 captured by Krug: Classic Beauty. Krug 2008 reveals the intensity and elegance of a classic year in Champagne; it is long, balanced and precise, with beautiful structure.
Pinot Noir plots’ wines (53%) constitute over half of the blend and come primarily from emblematic plots in the Montagne de Reims Sud including Aÿ, Mareuil, Bouzy and Ambonnay. Meunier plots’ wines (25%) bring tension and citrus, while aromatic Chardonnay plots’ wines (22%) imbue the blend with fruit.
As all Krug Champagnes, Krug 2008 will continue to gain with the passage of time.
