  • NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée 90 Points

    France, Champagne

    Latest release with 2007 vintage as base. Ripe orchard fruit, toasty hints and good concentration. Very good now.

  • 2000 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 93 Points

    France, Champagne

    Apple, baked apple with lemon curd and a bright acidic edge middle to finish. Very good length and concentration. A few years away from really showing its full potential.

  • 2002 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 96 Points

    France, Champagne

    Ripe orchard fruit with lemon custard and lemon peel with a regal level of power. Incredible length with chiseled textures. Very intense level of acidity and minerality are slightly pronounced right now, but there is so much of everything good that this is already very exciting. Perhaps not quite as much pleasure today as the 2000 vintage, but clearly greater potential.

    Apple and baked apple with some slight berry hints. Good concentration, moderate length and textural nuance. Very enjoyable right now.

  • 2003 Krug Champagne Clos du Mesnil 93 Points

    Floral and ripe with some toasted brioche and wonderful spice, slightly sweet. Very meaty concentration for Chardonnay. Very good now.
