Krug

Vintage 2002 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

The 2002 vintage from Maison Krug is a true tribute to nature. Made from Pinot Noir (40%), Chardonnay (39%) and Pinot Meunier (21%), it strikes a balanced dialogue between freshness and indulgence, pairing perfectly with spicy dishes such as lentil curry or citrus-flavored desserts.
Unveiled after 14 years of aging in the cellar, this charismatic champagne follows Krug 2003 to reveal the unexpected aromas of the 2002 vintage.
This vintage brought together all the ideal conditions for champagne production. In 2002, the dry, generous, mild, and consistent climate resulted in an excellent harvest of very expressive, elegant, well-balanced wines marked by ample fruit.
The color is a sparkling golden yellow.
The nose is fresh and elegant, opening with pleasant citrus notes supported by spicy aromas of licorice and chocolate biscuit.
On the palate, fruit fragrances dominate. A true alliance of white fruits, red fruits and citrus, the palette of aromas expands to deliver delicious notes of cocoa and honey with a hint of empyreumatic (smoky) notes in the background.
Like all Krug champagnes, this vintage has excellent aging potential.
