Krug Brut Champagne 2011

A graceful and sophisticated champagne with a refined symmetry of floral and citrus notes, accompanied by a clean and vibrant finish, but its tartness provides a lively and uplifting quality, with light layers of green apple and apricot, and a nutty undertone reminding of toasted pine nut, a truly delightful and elegant champagne experience.

Memorable evening with friends from Belgium, featuring whites and Champagne, and a second contribution from Krug. The 2004 vintage, even as less impressive in the nose, proved to be more in harmony with the 2006. The suggestions of brioche, toast, buttery, orange, and sea shells were especially striking. The tail was equally impressive, with both the nose and tasting yielding a perfect 5⭐️ rating. A truly exceptional experience.

Intense and lavish champagne that is perfect for special occasions, but may not be well matched for everyday tasting due to its high alcohol content. Disgorged in 2005, it has been carefully stored and aged for over a decade, resulting in a concentrated golden cast and a elegant perlage. The nose is distinguished by a textured blend of sweet and savory notes, with honey, custard, brioche, vanilla, tobacco, hazelnut, and plum. The sensation is luscious and full-bodied, with a fat body and a concentrated flavor profile that is both complex and refined. The close is long and oxidative, with a rewarding return of toffee and grapefruit. A truly extraordinary champagne that is sure to impress.
