Krug 2004

Appearance: At first sight, the beautiful light golden colour promises radiant freshness.

Aroma: The nose begins with an expressive bouquet of ginger, candied citrus and quince, followed by richer notes evoking lemon meringue tart, plum and Mirabelle.

Palate: On the palate, a very balanced Champagne with light notes of brioche and honey giving way to an array of fresh citrus, including oranges, lemons and mandarins, enhanced by a highly
elegant finish.

Krug 2004 promises delectable pairing with sea urchin, salmon tartare or caviar. It also pairs very well with artichoke and a lightly spiced creamy mayonnaise sauce, delicate white fish in lemon sauce and olive oil or sole meunière, as well as Thai cuisine with ginger and lemongrass. Fresh goat’s cheese and candied citrus underline the Champagne’s beautiful freshness, while a lemon meringue tart makes for a perfectly paired dessert.

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 the annual climate variations. Paying close attention to the vineyard's character, respecting the individuality of each ply and it's wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years, allowed Jospeh Krug to fulfil his dream.
