At the House of Krug, every Krug Vintage celebrates the distinct character of a particular year. A Krug Vintage is a blend of the most expressive wines from a single year enhanced by a stay of over ten years in the cellars. Every Krug Vintage is different: it is the Music of the year, captured by Krug.

Krug 2008 is the elegant and intense story of a cool and balanced year, nicknamed “Classic Beautyâ€?by the House’s Tasting Committee members.

Drinking Window: 2021-2043

Due to the excellent and balanced cool climate of 2008, the grapes could take their time to mature in tranquillity, ultimately exhibiting beautiful freshness upon harvest. Surprisingly, despite these mild and constant conditions, we observed great heterogeneity from plot to plot. The beauty of this contrast was the inspiration to blend complementary flavours and aromas from different plots including Aÿ, Bouzy and Ambonnay. Krug 2008 is a great classic of the House.

The year 2008 was one of Champagne’s coolest in 14 years, and also one of the region’s least sunny in almost half a century. A superb vintage, it was a classic northern climate, one that has not been seen much since. Rainfall was normal, the summer was dry, and temperatures were constant throughout the growing season. This absence of extremes resulted in slow and steady grape maturation.

Under these circumstances, the fruit was intense, elegant and beautifully structured. Unexpected heterogeneity in the vines brought great complexity, with a very complete spectrum of flavours and aromas observed upon harvest. For the final blend, the House’s Cellar Master selected wines best exhibiting the flavours, aromas, and complexity of the year. It was brought to life in a composition marked by the beauty, complexity and elegant structure of 2008.
