Fresh and tasty. Lemon, slate, bright white flowers. Taught and precise. A bit dilute compared to the Cristal and tattinger Comtes preceding it. Very nice though.

What a wine. Pretty exhilarating - a super fresh and precise attack, Lovely rich middle and a great finish. Some apricot, marzipan, patisserie notes. This is how alluring young champagne should be. Sophisticated and energizing. Wow. 07 base. Yay Xmas.

Opulent and generous with a medium gold color, toffee notes, aromas of bruised apple, dried apricots and hazelnuts - the finish goes on for minutes

Elegant, complex and quite floral, mandarin orange, white flowers, lemon zest, hints of baking spices.

About as good as NV gets. This includes reserve wine going all the way back to 1990.

Disgorged in 2015, using vintages going all the way back to 1990 until 2007. You can never go wrong with Krug!
