£423.24
Krug Vintage Brut 2011, 12.5% ABV, in a 0.75 l bottle with a gift box, is an exceptional vintage champagne from the renowned House of Krug and embodies the Maison’s unique philosophy of capturing the distinctive character of a single vintage. Every Krug Vintage tells its own story and is crafted exclusively from the most expressive wines of a given year. The cuvée is then aged for more than a decade in the house’s cellars to develop its full complexity and depth.
The Krug 2011 was produced in a year full of climatic contrasts. The unusual weather conditions resulted in a vintage that delighted the tasting committee with its exciting contrast of power and elegance. For this reason, it was given the nickname ‘Runder Spirit’. The blend comprises 46% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier, and impressively combines structure, freshness and finesse. The long ageing period lends the champagne additional depth and aromatic complexity. With an alcohol content of 12.5% vol., this prestige champagne from France is a fascinating expression of an exceptional vintage and a striking example of the art of champagne-making at the very highest level.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Krug Vintage 2011 presents itself in a radiant gold colour with a fine, long-lasting perlage. On the nose, aromas of white fruits and fresh citrus unfold, accompanied by menthol-like nuances and a hint of basil. On the palate, an enveloping roundness initially develops, with notes of pastries and fruit compote. This is followed by subtle smoky notes, thyme and spicy accents. The finish is lively and precise, with hints of sea salt and grapefruit peel, and remains exceptionally long-lasting.
The Krug Vintage 2011 pairs superbly with grilled meats, lamb skewers, veal and premium shellfish such as lobster or langoustines. This vintage champagne from France also accompanies refined fish dishes and selected desserts with remarkable elegance. For the optimal tasting experience, Krug recommends a serving temperature of 9–12 °C, ideally in a high-quality white wine glass or the specially designed Krug-Riedel glass. This allows this Prestige Champagne Vintage to reveal its full aromatic depth and complexity.
