Vintage 2004

Krug (hentet 2. nov. 2026): Highly expressive, bright, undeniably elegant and discreet, Krug 2004 combines citrus notes of all kinds, evoking the sensation of early summer mornings in Champagne. A vintage graced by nature’s elation, it is the vibrant song of a year so fresh, the Tasting Committee decided to nickname this champagne “Luminous Freshness.” Krug 2004 is a dialogue between shining Chardonnays (39%), a backbone of Pinot Noir (37%) combined with the vivacity, tension and citrus notes of Meunier (24%). Combining delicacy, balance and bountiful citrus of all types, Krug 2004 – named 'Luminous Freshness' by the House – evokes the sensations of early summer mornings in Champagne. Tasting notes: At first sight, the beautiful light golden colour promises radiant freshness. The nose begins with an expressive bouquet of ginger, candied citrus and quince, followed by richer notes evoking lemon meringue tart, plum and mirabelle. On the palate, a very balanced Champagne with light notes of brioche and honey giving way to an array of fresh citrus, including oranges, lemons and mandarins, enhanced by a very elegant finish.
