2008 Champagne Krug, Brut Size:75cl Jancis Robinson MWKrug 2008 is the beautifully contrasted story of one of Champagnes coolest vintages in 14 years, and least sunny in almost half a century. The absence of extremes in 2008 provided ideal circumstances for the creation of a timeless vintage. Balancing structure and finesse, this champagne is nicknamed Classic Beauty by the Tasting Committee. With elegance and depth, Krug 2008 is a blend of Pinot Noir (53%), Meunier (25%), and Chardonnay (22%).
