2000 Krug Vintage Brut

Description

Krug is unique among major Champagne houses because they ferment all their base wines in small oak barrels and age their vintage releases for a minimum of ten years before they hit the market. The 2000 vintage is a blend dominated by Pinot Noir, which provides its famous "Krug" power and structure, while Chardonnay adds elegance and Meunier provides a juicy, fruity character.
