There's a supernova of sensation with each sip of this powerful version starting with the vivid streak of mouthwatering acidity that drives a rich panoply of flavor across the palate. Notes of ripe black currant Mandarin orange peel and grilled nut are accented by hints of candied ginger briny oyster shell verbena and ground cardamom spice. This burns bright from start to finish yet its fine integration and lovely raw silklike mousse pull it all together into a seamless vibrant package. Pinot Noir Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Disgorged Autumn 2019. Drink now through 2038.

The 2008 Vintage is a nervy electrifying Champagne the likes of which has not emerged from Krug's cellars since the magical 1996. Bright and sculpted with tremendous precision the 2008 dazzles from start to finish. Stylistically the 2008 doesn't have the toastiness or explosive breadth often found in young Krug but that in no way detracts from its magnificent beauty
