Krug 2002

Appearance: At first sight, a lovely bright golden colour

Aroma: Charismatic and fresh on the nose, it promises natural intensity and elegance with a strong presence of fruits of all types, revealing a diverse bouquet of orange aromas with some notes of liquorice and light chocolate biscuit.

Taste: On the palate, Krug 2002 is astonishing, balanced and delicate with significant fresh, tropical, wild and crystallised fruits. It is a hymn to fruit: red, white and citrus fruits with notes of cassis, chocolate, candied-orange peel, cocoa beans, honey with hints of smoke and toast enhanced by a vibrant, persistent long finish

Recipes like duck breast with its juice in reduction, roasted butternut squash and kumquat chutney or a lentil curry stew marked with orange zest can pair deliciously with Krug 2002.

As a dessert, an orange tiramisu or a cinnamon brioche with a carrot, ginger and lemon mousse would also combine beautifully.

Reims, Champagne France. The House was established in Reims in 1843, by Joseph Krug, a visionary non-conformist with an uncompromising philosophy. Having understood that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself, his dream was to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual climate variations. Paying close attention to the vineyard’s character, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years, allowed Joseph Krug to fulfil his dream.
