The 2011 Krug is a singular, distinctive vintage at this address. Revealing aromas of lemon, confit citrus, dried herbs, hazelnuts, pear and ripe orchard fruits mingled with spices, it's medium to full-bodied, round and dense, with a phenolic, singular entry and a structured, almost tannic but elegant mid-palate framed by a fleshy core of fruit. It has a pinpoint mousse and a long, mineral and saline finish enhanced by a lot of chalky dry extracts. Compared to previous vintages, which were tauter and more incisive, this rendition is more austere, aging gracefully into a Champagne of understated elegance and revealed austerity.
About this wine
Champagne
Champagne is produced mainly from three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Each of these contributes to the complexity and flavor palette of the finished wine. The vineyards of Champagne are surrounded by historic vineyards that often have deep roots in centuries-old winemaking tradition. Champagne wine is produced in accordance with strict rules and standards defined by the French AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) system. This ensures that only wine from this specific area can carry the prestigious label "Champagne". From the iconic Dom Pérignon to more accessible brands, Champagne represents a symbol of celebration and elegance worldwide. Often used to mark special events and highlights in life, its popularity continues to grow as a global icon of sparkling wine.
