Krug ID 118.014 – Over 12 years in the Krug cellar developed the harmony of this mostly Pinot Noir Champagne, which is also about a third chardonnay and the rest Pinot Meunier. The wine has a bright, golden color and, above all, an incessant effervescence that will usher in a delicate, soft and wrapping creaminess to the mouth. The bouquet has intense aromas of crispy, golden delicious apple, ripe white peach and bergamot, with sensations of hazelnut butter and honey-laced brioche and a suffused whiff of fresh verbena. The mouthfeel is rich and, at the same time, vibrant with notes of marzipan and tangerine peel alternately becoming wrapping and taut, with a persistence that finishes with the elegance of dried fruit.
