Tasting profile

This champagne has a light yellow colour with luminous highlights, enlivened by a fine, sustained effervescence. On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe white fruit and fruit star, then evolves towards hints of citrus fruit, liquorice and basil leaf. On the palate, the attack reveals an enveloping, pastry-like texture, evoking stewed fruit and brioche, before giving way to a smoky, herbaceous register. The finish is marked by singular precision, with notes of sea salt and grapefruit zest.

Tasting and context

Krug Champagne 2011 is aimed at connoisseurs looking for an exceptional vintage. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years for optimum development. It is perfect for moments when you want to appreciate the authentic expression of a great champagne without compromise.

What sets this champagne vintage apart

This 2011 vintage stands out for its rare Krug blend - an unusual balance between structure and freshness, due to the climatic conditions - and for its ability to express a dual identity: a generous body and an incisive finish. The choice of prolonged ageing allows this cuvée to develop a refined complexity that few champagnes offer.

Serving and storage recommendations

To get the most out of this Krug Vintage 2011, we recommend serving the bottle between 9°C and 12°C. Opening the bottle gradually will release its rich aromas. For storage, a place with a stable temperature (ideally around 10°C), away from light and vibrations, will allow this cuvée to flourish for several more years.
