🌟 A vintage Champagne that embodies Krug’s uncompromising spirit—complex, expressive, and remarkably sculpted by the character of the year.

👁 In the Glass:
Rich gold with a fine, endless stream of bubbles—luxurious and radiant.

👃 On the Nose:
Vibrant and multilayered: summer apricots, white peach, and citrus peel unfold into tangy star fruit and cooling notes of basil, liquorice, and menthol. As it evolves, a deeper complexity emerges—hints of caramelised fruit, dried fig, and subtle smoke.

👅 On the Palate:
Opulent and full-bodied with remarkable finesse. Flavours of stewed stone fruits, marzipan, honeyed nuts, and barley sugar dominate the mid-palate, underpinned by thyme, rosemary, and toasted praline. The finish is long and energetic, with mouth-watering notes of blood orange, grapefruit zest, and sea spray.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Sublime with foie gras, lobster thermidor, grilled turbot with herb butter, or aged Parmesan. Also exquisite with roasted poultry, truffled dishes, or creamy shellfish risottos.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
A magnificent wine to enjoy now, but with the structure and depth to cellar for 20+ years. With time, it will evolve into something even more profound and layered.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Krug Vintage is a Champagne of powerful presence and poetic subtlety—crafted not to reflect a single harvest, but to interpret a singular year with Krug’s signature artistry. With “Spirited Roundness,” it captures the essence of a bold season, transformed by 12 years of patience into an unforgettable expression of finesse and fire.
