Lot #1484. Krug Vintage Brut 2000

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: France, Champagne.
Score: 98 JS.
"Very fragrant. This has developed bright, ripe red cherry fruit aromas, vanilla cream, sweet roasted almond biscuits, some marzipan, tobacco, lemon meringue and chalky minerals. The palate has an assertive core of fine acidity with more yellow fruits expressed on entry, like peaches and nectarines. Good ripeness, superfine acidity. The redder fruits build as it goes; cherries and raspberries, yellow plums to close. Full of life. Drink now or up to 20 years, it will go the distance." James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, July 10, 2015
Provenance: The Cisalpine Cellar
Notes: "This bottle left the Krug cellars to receive its cork in Spring 2010 . . . . after over 9 years of ageing in the cellars . . . . Pinot Noir (42%) and Chardonnay grapes (43%), with 15% of Meunier providing the final touch."
