Krug Vintage 2003 – Exclusive vintage champagne with depth, freshness and iconic complexity

Krug Vintage 2003 is a luxurious vintage champagne from Champagne, France, created in the house's characteristic style with both intensity, precision and great elegance. Krug itself describes the vintage as fresh, balanced and expressive, born in a challenging and unusually warm year in Champagne. The cuvée is composed of 46% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier, exclusively from the 2003 harvest.

In the glass, Krug 2003 presents a subtle golden color and an elegant mousse. The aroma offers complex notes of citrus, plum, liquid honey and brioche, while the taste unfolds with fresh summer fruits, red grapefruit, candied peel, roasted chestnuts and caramelized apple tart. This results in a champagne with both mature richness and vibrant energy.

Krug Vintage 2003 is an obvious choice for those seeking a prestige champagne with both character and aging potential. The house itself highlights the vintage as an expression with "vivacious energy" and "infinite finesse", which underlines the special balance between warmth, ripeness and freshness in this cuvée.

This exclusive champagne pairs particularly well with shellfish, lobster, caviar, fine fish dishes and elegant appetizers, but also works excellently as a luxurious aperitif for special occasions. The product is supplied in 75 cl.

? /100

Tasted this year with Chef de Cave, Eric Lebel, it is exactly the same edition (ID) as tasted in 2016. This shows a rich nose featuring deep and ripe chardonnay and pinot noir. Red fruits, some dark mushrooms, plenty of grilled nuts, caramel, some deep spices, dried citrus, lemon peel and bready aromas are all there. The trademark complexity is here, too, and this freshens with air. The palate is intricately detailed and stitched together like needlework. It is extremely precise and even, and the acidity is articulated with some finesse, even if this has much more in terms of phenolics as the leading structural component. The phenolics are rich and ripe, and they sit polished and even around immensely concentrated fruits such as peaches, nectarines and white cherries. The finish is deep, even and resonant. Drink now but rest assured that this will hold for a very long time – just as Krug has proven in other warm years such as '76. Krug ID 115023.

About the grape

Champagne Blend

Champagne Blend refererer til en af verdens mest karakteristiske vinstile – de mousserende vine lavet af Pinot Noir, Chardonnay og Pinot Meunier, der er mest berømt forbundet med Champagne-regionen i det nordlige Frankrig.

Begrebet er dog også kommet til at omfatte vine lavet efter méthode traditionnelle (den traditionelle metode) rundt om i verden – især i New World-lande som USA, Australien, New Zealand og Sydafrika.

Pinot Noir og Chardonnay betragtes traditionelt som blendets stjerner og bruges typisk i nogenlunde lige store mængder i New World-eksemplarer. Den mindre glamorøse Pinot Meunier ses sjældent uden for selve Champagne-regionen.

- Chardonnay: Bidrager med finesse, elegance, citrusnoter og mineralitet
- Pinot Noir: Tilfører struktur, fylde, røde bær og dybde
- Pinot Meunier: Giver frugtighed, blødhed og tilgængelighed

Klassisk Champagne-blend kombinerer alle tre druer for balance mellem finesse, frugt og struktur.

Champagne er for dig, der søger luksus, fejring og finesse. Det er en vin med håndværk, tradition og umiskendelig elegance – perfekt til særlige lejligheder, men også som aperitif eller til mad.

Serving

Champagne fortjener den rette behandling for at vise sit fulde potentiale. Med korrekt temperatur, glas og håndtering får du den optimale oplevelse.

Temperatur: Kølig, men ikke iskold

Server Champagne ved 6-10°C – kølig nok til at bevare friskhed og bobler, men ikke så kold at aromaerne dæmpes.

Lette, unge Champagner (NV Brut): 6-8°C – koldere temperatur fremhæver friskhed
Vintage og престижecuvées: 8-10°C – lidt varmere for at frigive komplekse aromaer
Sådan køler du ned:

Læg flasken i en isbøtte med is og vand (ikke kun is) i 20-30 minutter
Alternativt: Læg den i køleskabet i 3-4 timer før servering
Undgå fryseren – for hurtig nedkøling kan skade aromaerne
