Product Description
Scoring 96 points from Wine Advocate, the Krug 2013 — nicknamed "Exalted Citrus" by the Krug Tasting Committee — is a Pinot Noir-dominant champagne (41% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay, 21% Meunier) aged over 12 years on lees, capturing the tangy, luminous character of a cool, slow-growing season with remarkable finesse.
Pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse, Krug 2013 opens with lemon oil, candied citrus, fresh apricot, toasted almond, and brioche crust, leading to a medium-to full-bodied palate that is chiselled and racy — vibrant acidity underpinned by chalky minerality, citrus in every form, and a long, saline-tinged finish of breathtaking precision and length.
