Heiner Lobenberg über:
Champagne Vintage Brut 2004

96–98
/100

Lobenberg: Einer der besten jemals probierten jungen Champagner, an Länge wohl kaum zu schlagen. Hat alles, was man von einem großen Champagner erwartet und zeigt dies auch. Ein Meisterwerk an Präzision und Intensität. 96-98/100

Galloni über: Champagne Vintage Brut

-- Galloni: The 2004 Vintage is a gorgeous Champagne that is just beginning to enter its first plateau of maturity. Dried flowers, brioche, mint, marzipan, tangerine peel and spice lend notable nuance throughout. A hint of reduction adds intrigue. As always, the 2004 is a linear, focused Champagne endowed with terrific energy. It is impeccably done. There's a bit more Chardonnay and Meunier than usual in this vintage, and that very much comes through in the wine's personality and overall feel. The blend is 37% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay and 24% Meunier as opposed to the more classic 50%/35%/15% blend. Disgorged: Summer 2018. Krug ID: 318031. 98/100

Suckling über: Champagne Vintage Brut

-- Suckling: This is an extremely fresh edition and remains in a restrained mode with an intense serve of chardonnay's lemon citrus dominating the nose alongside lime zest, bright florals, grassy elements, fresh dough, white stones and very subtle background spice. The palate has a svelte and elegant shape. Smoother than the 2002, it shares the same quality of precision but not the raging power of that vintage. The poise is unquestionable, the wine very reserved, with plenty of lemon-infused citrus flavors, hints of fresh cashew and a lot of potential. Acidity holds superbly, the dosage is exactly where it should be. This is a classic release. It's all about chardonnay. 97/100

Parker über: Champagne Vintage Brut

-- Parker: Combining subtleness with complexity, the coolish Krug 2004 Brut opens with a highly elegant, fascinatingly clear, bright and refreshing bouquet of ripe (apple) fruits. Dense and round, with a delicate mineral soul, the pure but perfectly balanced 2004 reveals great finesse and weightless elegance with a long and round finish. This is a gorgeous Krug vintage that is 14 years old but still on the rise. Tasted from ID 316034 in New York in November 2018. 97!00

Decanter über: Champagne Vintage Brut

-- Decanter: Krug says this is a vintage with ‘luminous freshness’, which is very much still in evidence thanks to the year's restrained fruit and this vintage's higher than average Chardonnay content. It continues to makes its case as the most complete Krug vintage of recent times, drawn with stunning clarity in fine lines of clean, mineral, slatey Chardonnay, with lemon shortbread and charry orange peel, subtly enriched with sourdough bread and hazelnut wafers, and the Pinot provides volume and weight. The richness and development expected is there, but the 2004 is playing the long game with captivating finesse. 97/100

Mein Winzer

Krug

Wie kaum ein anderes Haus steht Krug Champagner für die qualitative Speerspitze der Region. Reine Handarbeit, sehr geringe Mengen, immer extrem rar. Absolut großartiger Stoff, den diese renommierte, boutique-artige Manufaktur in Reims produziert.
