Krug 2008 is the elegant and intense story of a fresh and balanced vintage, nicknamed “Classic Beauty” by the members of the Maison's Tasting Committee.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET:

For the final creation, wines from vineyards that best represent the exceptional characteristics of 2008 were selected. Pinot Noirs (53%) represent more than half of the blend and come mainly from emblematic vineyards of the Montagne de Reims Sud, including Aÿ, Mareuil, Bouzy and Ambonnay. Meuniers (25%) bring tension and citrus notes, while Chardonnays (22%) enrich the blend with a fruity aroma.

The wonderful, precise and harmonious profile of Krug 2008 is the result of more than 12 years of aging in the cellars of the House, during which it has developed expressiveness, harmony and refinement.


AT THE SIGHT:

Intense and brilliant golden color

ON THE NOSE:

Expressive, rich and broad with glossy aromas of honey, licorice, menthol, orange peel and grapefruit

ON THE PALATE:

It presents expressive notes of quince, candied fruit and citrus, yellow kiwi, star fruit, honey, apple pie, butter biscuits, orange peel, peony and fennel, with floral and menthol undertones. The finish is persistent, balanced and precise with a surprising structure.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

Krug 2008 pairs wonderfully with oyster tartare with lobster emulsion, parmesan breadsticks, pistachio Chaource in puff pastry, rabbit terrine with sorrel, tagliatelle with mussels and basil, dishes prepared with aromatic herbs such as oregano and thyme or whitefish with lemon and pepper sauce, but also with desserts that offer a certain contrast thanks to their liveliness and roundness, for example with a passion fruit and lemon meringue.
