Crafted from a carefully composed blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, it reflects both the character of a standout year and the long cellar aging that gives Krug Vintage wines their exceptional finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a brilliant golden hue with very fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is generous and layered, offering ripe peach and pear alongside more nuanced notes of honey, almond, and nougat.\n\nThe palate is intense yet beautifully structured, with ripe fruit, mineral tension, and a discreet but lasting freshness in perfect balance. The finish is long, refined, and elegant, and the wine has the concentration and harmony to continue evolving gracefully for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKrug 2002 is made from a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay, and 21% Meunier, sourced to express the best qualities of the vintage.
