Krug Vintage 2004 is a luxurious vintage champagne from Champagne, France, created as a unique expression of the 2004 vintage. Krug itself describes this cuvée as “Luminous Freshness”, as the vintage combines energy, precision, and remarkable elegance. The wine is a blend of 39% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir, and 24% Meunier, providing a beautiful balance of freshness, structure, and depth.

In the glass, Krug 2004 appears as an elegant and expressive champagne with an aromatic profile characterized by citrus fruits, early summer freshness, and great finesse. Krug itself emphasizes the bright and elegant character that makes the 2004 vintage particularly refined and vibrant in style.

Krug Vintage is only created in years when the house deems the harvest to have a special personality worth highlighting. At Krug, vintage champagnes are aged for over 10 years in the cellars, contributing to the depth and complexity that characterizes the house's wines. This makes Krug 2004 an excellent choice for those seeking a prestige champagne with both character, aging potential, and a classic Krug signature.

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

97 /100

Combining subtleness with complexity, the coolish Krug 2004 Brut opens with a highly elegant, fascinatingly clear, bright and refreshing bouquet of ripe (apple) fruits. Dense and round, with a delicate mineral soul, the pure but perfectly balanced 2004 reveals great finesse and weightless elegance with a long and round finish. This is a gorgeous Krug vintage that is 14 years old but still on the rise. - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate.

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
