he 2002 vintage from Krug is already surprisingly seductive. It is a big, full-bodied champagne with many layers of fruit and enticing flavours. We were delighted to receive another 6 bottles directly from Krug recently.

97 (96) Richard Juhlin champagneclub.com Ultra-elegant, soft, seductively hovering caressing character with a healthy sting beneath the surface as usual with Krug. Layer on layer constructed in a sophisticated and detailed way. The fruit is so wide that one can sense all the fruits and pastries of the earth in this beautiful creation. Very similar to 1982 at the same age. A bit worried about the lack of acidity and elegance lately.
