AOC Champagne, House Krug, 20th edition, Magnum, brut rosé
Krug 2008 Brut
Tasting notes for the Krug 2008 Brut Champagne
- EYE: The Krug 2008 champagne adorns itself with a pale robe, delicate gold, evoking the light of a sunny morning. Its fine, persistent bubbles dance gracefully in the flute. The effervescence is lively, a sign of meticulous and careful vinification.
- NOSE: Get closer to the glass, and a world of aromas unfolds before you. Notes of quince, candied fruits, and citrus harmoniously blend. A touch of yellow kiwi, white flowers, and honey completes this fragrant bouquet.
- MOUTH: The first sip reveals a silky, almost creamy texture. Flavors unfold elegantly: apple tart, buttery biscuits, and a subtle bitterness of orange zest. The acidity is perfectly balanced, prolonging the tasting experience.
In short: The Krug 2008 Brut may be a classic champagne, but its incredible beauty is sure to impress you. While it can still be cellared for a few more years without worry, it is already at its peak today. To accompany it, we suggest dishes such as grilled lobster with lemon butter, seared foie gras with figs, or even salmon tartare with lemon.

Maison Krug
The purest quality of Champagne
The Champagne House Krug is now a venerable old lady, born in 1843 in Reims. Its founder, Johann-Joseph Krug (a German citizen from Mainz, which used to be controlled by France), spent 8 years working for the Maison Jacquesson before going his own way. Thanks to his partner Hippolyte de Vivès, and his will to create the best Champagne in the world (and the physical incarnation of pleasure), Joseph quickly succeeded in turning his new brand into an international powerhouse.
When he died in 1866, his son Paul rose up to the task of managing the family business, since he had been trained by Joseph. Like father like son, Paul Krug also aimed to unlock the hidden potential of all his wines and to reinforce the character of each parcel of his vineyard. His hard work truly paid off during the 1880's, when the popularity of the Champagne House Krug skyrocketed.
Since then, many members of the Krug family have helped the estate grow: Joseph Krug II, grandson of Johann-Joseph, in 1910; his son Paul Krug II, during the 1930's; Rémi and Henri Krug, in 1962. Finally, the Krug brand was bought in 1999 by the LVMH Group, which specializes in luxury goods. However, the estate remains in the family, with Olivier Krug (its proud sixth-generation representative) acting as the current director.
