Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 26 Mar 24
The 2008 Vintage is an infant. Tightly wound and vibrant, the 2008 still needs time. Today, bright acids dominate. I wouldn't dream of touching this anytime soon, as the 2008 remains embryonic, although from time to time the barest hints of signature Krug notes peek out from the wine's structure. Vibrant saline notes and sculpted fruit are the signatures of a cold, late-ripening year that produced classically austere Champagnes. Disgorged: Autumn 2019. Krug ID: 419044.
Drinking Date: 2028 - 2048

The Wine Independent Sarah Mayo - 08 Nov 23
From the classic Champagne vintage, the KRUG 2008 is a 53% Pinot Noir, 22% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Meunier possessing enormous tension and freshness with aromas warm lemon curd, crème brulé, and toast. A beautiful golden color, the medium to full-bodied palate is intense with spiced apple, butter biscuit, and a touch lemon zest bitterness that folds seamlessly into a satiny acid vibrancy laced with chalk. It is at once powerful and delicate throughout and finishes very long. According to the Krug iD320023 the bottle tasted was disgorged in the third quarter of 2020. 97 12.5% Drink now - 2038

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
