Krug Brut Champagne (2011)

Champagne, France

Varietal(s): 46% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay, 17% Meunier

Shows reserved character but with a lot of energy and tension. Concentrated citrus fruit, candied lemons and mandarin peel with hints of savory herbs and spices. Notes of brioche and caraway seeds. Full-bodied, complex and nervy on the palate. It has fine, silky bubbles yet it’s structured and firm with a lot of power. It builds up on the finish with freshness and vibrancy.

98pts. James Suckling
