Krug
The Krug style cannot be summed up in a single sentence as
each cuvee has its own unique personality. Suffice it to say that quality
regardless of popular taste is paramount. Krug is Krug is Krug. All Krug's base
wines are vinified in 205 litre barriques made from weathered Argonne oak, which
is relatively neutral (tasted with other Champagnes, Krug's oakiness is
distinctive, but rarely discernible when drunk on its own). Typically, the wine
has a beautiful pale-golden colour, a soft yet invigorating mousse of slow
rising, ultra-fine bubbles, elegant aromas of toast, roasted nuts, and dried
fruits. The palate is profoundly rich, the fruit ripe yet beautifully dry and
mellow, with great finesse and complexity.
