Krug 2011 is a remarkably textural, intense and expressive interpretation of a challenging Champagne vintage — one only Krug could elevate to this level. While many houses struggled with the growing season, Krug’s meticulous vineyard selection and blending have produced a wine of precision, depth and surprising power.

The bouquet is complex and layered: baked citrus, grilled peach, lemon confit, hazelnut, almond praline, brioche, dried flowers and flinty smoke. On the palate it is broad yet refined, offering flavours of candied citrus, white peach, toasted nuts, light spice, chalk and subtle savoury notes.

The texture is unmistakably Krug — silky, vinous and structured, with a seamless integration of acidity, fruit and oak. The finish is long, savoury, mineral and persistent, promising beautiful evolution.
