Krug Vintage 2011 Champagne
Krug Vintage 2011 is an extraordinary champagne that reflects the distinctive character of this remarkable harvest year. The 2011 vintage combined warm conditions with unpredictable weather, resulting in a wine of great energy, depth, and elegance. Named “Spirited Roundness” by the House of Krug, this vintage perfectly expresses both vitality and harmony.
A year of contrasts
The grapes for this exceptional champagne were harvested between August 25 and September 3, 2011. The combination of heat, rainfall, and sharp temperature changes created fruit of remarkable aromatic intensity. After more than ten years of maturation in Krug’s cellars, this champagne has evolved into a rich, layered expression of the year’s character.
Composition and style
Krug Vintage 2011 is composed of 46% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay, and 17% Meunier. Pinot Noir brings structure and depth, Chardonnay contributes finesse and fruit purity, while Meunier adds freshness and subtle spice. The result is a champagne of generous texture, refined fruit, and a long, mineral finish.
Tasting notes
In the glass, Krug 2011 shows a radiant golden hue with delicate amber reflections. The nose reveals aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, brioche, and hazelnut. The palate is full and harmonious, combining intensity with elegant balance, a true showcase of Krug’s craftsmanship.
