2002 Champagne Krug, Brut

Please note that the ABV of the magnum is 12.5%, in contrast to the 12% ABV of the 75cl bottle.

Krug's 2002 Brut (ID 415064 disgorged IV/2015) has an intense citrus color and opens with a generous, intense yet fine and precise bouquet that indicates great depth and elegance. Red fruit flavors on the nose lead to a generously rich yet pure, highly refined and elegant palate, with lots of ripe cherry fruits and delicious yeasty flavors. This is a highly complex and tensioned but beautifully balanced 2002 with a charming dosage that gives perfect roundness. The finish, however, is clear, fresh and well-structured, if not taut, and very mineral.

Drink 2018 - 2030
