2000 Krug

Krug
2000 was a miraculous vintage, enormous storms and hail in the early growing season did not bode well, but the year was saved by one of the hottest Summers in Champagne for fifty years.  As a result the Maison have named this vintage “Tempestuous Indulgence”!  They have compared it to absolute greats like ’47, ’76 and ’82 and believe it will be one of the longest lived vintages they have made.  It comprises of 45% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier.Krug

Lovely tiny bead.  Lemony lift on the nose.  Olivier Krug told us ruefully that this was one of two vintages (with 1989) when the UK trade didn't complain that it was released too young.  There is apparently lots of Pinot Noir in the blend even though it tastes so crisp and vital.  This is a wine that tastes unusually open for a vintage Krug.  Very broachable indeed.  Dry, chewy finish bit not aggressively so

Krug’s 2000 Brut Vintage is very understated and cool. It boasts gorgeous textural finesse and layers of effortless fruit. This is an especially vibrant, floral Champagne for Krug that impresses for its fine balance and sensual personality. Even better, the 2000 drinks well right out of the gate, unlike 1995 and 1996. A superb, caressing finish laced with green pears, spices, flowers and almonds leaves a lasting impression.
