Krug Vintage 2011 is a luxurious vintage champagne from Champagne, France, created as a unique expression of the 2011 vintage. Krug itself describes this cuvée as “Spirited Roundness” because the vintage unites finesse and power in a special balance. The wine is composed of 46% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay, and 17% Meunier, which gives it a style with both freshness, structure, and depth.

In the glass, Krug 2011 presents a refined and expressive style. The house's official description highlights the vintage as a result of unpredictable weather with inverted seasons, which has created a champagne with energy, charm, and vibrancy. Krug Vintage is only created in years when the house deems the harvest to have a unique personality worth showcasing.

Krug Vintage 2011 is an obvious choice for those seeking a prestige champagne with character, development potential, and the classic Krug signature. The house generally states that each Krug Vintage undergoes over 10 years of cellar aging, which contributes to the depth and complexity characteristic of the champagne.

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.

95 /100

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.

? /100

It shows reserved character but with a lot of energy and tension. Concentrated citrus fruit, candied lemons and mandarin peel with hints of savory herbs and spices. Notes of brioche and caraway seeds. Full-bodied, complex and nervy on the palate. It has fine, silky bubbles yet it's structured and firm with a lot of power. It builds up on the finish with freshness and vibrancy. Drink or hold.

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
