Winemaker Notes
Krug 2004 presents a pale golden robe with fine, persistent bubbles, immediately revealing aromas of quince, candied citrus, and subtle dried fruits alongside delicate hints of brioche and toasted nuts. On the palate, it is both structured and refined, with a precise balance of Pinot Noir (53%), Meunier (25%), and Chardonnay (22%) that delivers layers of lemon zest, caramel apple, and chalky minerality. The cool vintage character shines through in its fresh acidity and remarkable tension, giving the wine a timeless elegance. The finish is long, complex, and vibrant, confirming its reputation as one of Krug’s most harmonious and age-worthy vintages.
About Winery
Krug Champagne is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses in the world, known for its commitment to quality and tradition. Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, a visionary who believed in creating the best Champagne every year, regardless of climate variations. He established the house in Reims, the heart of the Champagne region. Joseph Krug’s philosophy was to focus on the individuality of each plot and its wine, creating a library of reserve wines from different years to ensure consistency and excellence. Krug is credited with pioneering the concept of non-vintage Champagne, blending wines from multiple years to achieve a consistent and complex flavor profile.
