Vintage Brut Champagne Blend

The 2004 Vintage is a gorgeous Champagne that is just beginning to enter its first plateau of maturity. Dried flowers, brioche, mint, marzipan, tangerine peel and spice lend notable nuance throughout. A hint of reduction adds intrigue. As always, the 2004 is a linear, focused Champagne endowed with terrific energy. It is impeccably done. There's a bit more Chardonnay and Meunier than usual in this vintage, and that very much comes through in the wine's personality and overall feel. The blend is 37% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay and 24% Meunier as opposed to the more classic 50%/35%/15% blend. Disgorged: Summer 2018. Krug ID: 318031. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2024)

Here we go. Back to the Krug 2004; been 5 years and it aged nicely. Still going very strong; this will continue to age for 20+ years

2004 vintage. Beautiful, gilded color. Airy, appley nose. Plenty of acidity paired with ripeness. Likely best in 4-5 years but can see a clear path to the summit now. 9.21.23.

Rich, toasty with green apple & brioche.
