The excellent climate of 2008, little sunny and very cool, allowed the grapes to ripen in peace, with a harvest in which the grains proved to be intense, rich and structured. The extreme heterogeneity of the vineyards has brought great complexity to this champagne, allowing Krug's Chef de Caves to select exclusively the wines that best match the philosophy of the Maison. With all these premises, an elegant, fresh, balanced or more simply, excellent Champagne could only be born.

Of an intense and brilliant golden yellow colour, it has an elegant, fine and persistent perlage.
On the nose it offers a very broad bouquet, where notes of orange peel, grapefruit, liquorice and menthol stand out.
On the palate it is complex and structured and has notes of apple, candied fruit and citrus, biscuit and floral notes. The finish is persistent and of great mineral freshness.
