Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A precise acidity brings vivacity and vigour to the palate, despite the generous sunshine of the 2011 vintage.
Roundness
The defining characteristic, known as 'Sculpted Roundness': a broad, enveloping palate presence with notes of pastry and stewed fruits.
Power
The dominance of pinot noir imparts a firmly vinous structure that is at once opulent and beautifully balanced.
Length
A saline, citrus-driven finish of great persistence, culminating in an uplifting burst of grapefruit zest.

On the palate, the entry is generous and rounded, with notes of pastry and stewed fruits, before a precise, mouth-watering finish of salinity and grapefruit zest.

Terroirs

A blend of wines sourced from 37 Champagne villages, each fermented separately in small oak casks in the House's signature style, then aged at length on lees. The 2011 vintage — warm and contrasted — delivered a character that is at once opulent and precise, a faithful expression of its terroir of origin.

Krug

About this house

Founded in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, the House has embodied a singular vision of Champagne for nearly two centuries: every plot, every grape variety and every vintage is vinified separately in oak casks, building a vast library of reserve wines that feeds each and every blend.

The Vintage cuvée is crafted only in years deemed sufficiently exceptional by the House's Tasting Committee. Integrated into the LVMH group in 1999 whilst retaining its creative independence, Krug remains an absolute benchmark of Champagne luxury — each numbered, fully traceable bottle is as much a collector's piece as an invitation to pleasure.

The perfect pairing

The vinous richness and buttery notes of the vintage find a perfect match in foie gras, whose silken texture responds beautifully to the Champagne's precise finish.

Main course

The power and length of Krug 2011 pair magnificently with truffle-roasted poultry, a prestige pairing that elevates the aromatic complexity of the vintage.
