Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Despite a warm and stormy climate, the Grand Cru Chardonnay retains a precise vivacity that balances the generosity of the vintage.
Roundness
The over-ripeness of the year 2000 grapes brings a sensual and enveloping opulence, the hallmark of the Stormy Indulgence.
Power
Twelve years on the lees have amplified the aromatic depth to a theatrical intensity, making this one of the densest wines the House has ever produced.
Length
The finish extends across notes of quince, acacia honey and menthol with a truly extraordinary persistence.

TASTING NOTES

The colour is a luminous golden yellow, shot through with bubbles of silky, persistent finesse. On the nose, the vintage unfolds a sumptuous palette: burnished honey, liquorice, menthol, candied orange peel and grapefruit, lifted by a characteristic brioche note born of long years on the lees. The palate is at once intense and harmonious, carried by a precise acidic tension that guides notes of quince, candied fruit and citrus through to an interminable finish with menthol and floral accents.

Terroirs

A blend of exceptional plots: Chardonnay from Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Trépail and Villers-Marmery; Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Aÿ and Bouzy; Pinot Meunier from Saint-Gemme and Villevenard. Twelve years of ageing on the lees before disgorgement in April 2012, in keeping with Krug's tradition of singular, extended maturation.

Krug

About this house

Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug in Reims, the House has established itself as one of the few to vinify each plot separately, building each blend from a library of more than 400 reserve wines. This painstaking, artisanal method, passed down through six generations, lends every Krug cuvée a depth and complexity that only time can reveal.

Today part of the LVMH group, the House retains its creative independence and absolute standards: no compromises on ageing, no standardisation of blends. The Krug Vintage is only produced when a year yields grapes of singular quality, making each vintage a precise and unforgettable portrait of time and place.

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The velvety generosity of the Krug 2000 calls for a mi-cuit foie gras, whose unctuous richness answers the depth of the vintage.

The pearlescent flesh of lobster, coated in a lightly creamed citrus bisque, enters into elegant dialogue with the aromatic complexity of this cuvée.

Main Course

Truffle-roasted poultry, with its earthy, fragrant richness, harmonises to perfection with the depth and interminable finish of this exceptional vintage.
