Krug Vintage Brut 2013 Champagne

Description

Krug Vintage Brut 2011 Champagne is a distinctive vintage champagne described by the House of Krug as “Exalted Citrus.” This release captures the unique character of the 2011 vintage, shaped by dramatic climatic contrasts that resulted in wines of remarkable freshness and tension. An early growing season and intense spring sunshine were followed by a cooler summer, lending the grapes precision and aromatic clarity. The blend of 41% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay, and 21% Meunier delivers structure, elegance, and definition. In the glass, it shows a pale golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens gradually with candied citrus, lemon sweets, nougat, and quince paste. On the palate, it is vibrant and precise, marked by fresh citrus fruit, bright acidity, and a taut structure. The long, refreshing finish highlights its energy and aging potential. Aged for over twelve years in Krug’s cellars, this vintage is both expressive today and built for long-term cellaring—an exceptional champagne for collectors and connoisseurs.
