Produced only in years that possess a truly distinctive personality, Krug Vintage is the House's singular interpretation of an exceptional harvest. The 2008 vintage, described by Krug as "Classic Beauty", is widely regarded as one of the greatest Champagne vintages of the 21st century. A cool growing season and a remarkably fine September produced grapes of exceptional purity, tension and precision. Meticulously blended from individually vinified plots and aged for over 12 years in Krug's historic cellars, the 2008 is a masterpiece of elegance, structure and longevity.

"The 2008 Vintage is a nervy, electrifying Champagne, the likes of which has not emerged from Krug's cellars since the magical 1996. Bright and sculpted, with tremendous precision, the 2008 dazzles from start to finish. Stylistically, the 2008 doesn't have the toastiness or explosive breadth often found in young Krug, but that in no way detracts from its magnificent beauty."  99/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
