Krug 2002 is an exquisitely sophisticated champagne that celebrates the beauty of a perfectly balanced and generous vintage, which led the House of Krug to name it “Ode to Nature.” Crafted as an elegant blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay, and 21% Meunier, this champagne captivates with its golden hue and remarkable aromatic complexity.
On the nose, it is charismatic and fresh, revealing vibrant notes of orange, licorice, and subtle hints of chocolate biscuit. The palate offers a perfect harmony of delicacy and intensity, with layers of tropical, wild, and candied fruits, red and black currants, candied orange peel, cocoa, honey, and subtle touches of smoke and toast.
The finish is long, vibrant, and refined. Krug 2002 pairs beautifully with sophisticated dishes such as roasted duck breast with kumquat chutney, pumpkin purée, or aromatic lentil curry, as well as desserts like orange tiramisu or cinnamon brioche.
This champagne not only reflects the unique character of its vintage but also embodies the Krug philosophy—creating wines that endure, inspire, and deliver an unforgettable experience.
