Krug Vintage 2011 Gift Box

【Krug｜殿堂級香檳嘅奢華體驗】​​

Krug，一直被酒界稱為香檳界嘅「勞斯萊斯」。呢個來自法國香檳區嘅傳奇品牌，由Johann-Joseph Krug於1843年創立，一直堅持「極致複雜感」同「豐滿層次」嘅釀酒哲學，啱晒追求深度同韻味嘅香檳迷！

每一支Krug年份香檳都展示著特定年份嘅獨特個性——由當年最具表現力嘅基酒調配而成，之后喺酒窖經歷十幾年陳釀升華。

对于2011年，Krug Cellar Master Julie Cavil形容係“季節錯亂的一年——春日盛夏炎炎，夏季卻春雨綿綿氣溫偏低。” 不過，2011年份嘅Krug仍展現出一貫的細膩優雅。細密氣泡引出奶油蛋卷與香料的氣息，伴隨烤吐司與榛果風味，餘韻綿長且充盈口腔。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

The 2011 Krug is a singular, distinctive vintage at this address. Revealing aromas of lemon, confit citrus, dried herbs, hazelnuts, pear and ripe orchard fruits mingled with spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, round and dense, with a phenolic, singular entry and a structured, almost tannic but elegant mid-palate framed by a fleshy core of fruit. It has a pinpoint mousse and a long, mineral and saline finish enhanced by a lot of chalky dry extracts. Compared to previous vintages, which were tauter and more incisive, this rendition is more austere, aging gracefully into a Champagne of understated elegance and revealed austerity.
