Krug, Vintage Brut 2013
Krug's Vintage Brut is never a simple declaration of a year; it is Krug's argument for why that year deserved to be bottled at all. The 2013 is a fascinating one: a cool, late harvest that demanded patience and conviction, two things Krug has never been short of. The blend leans on Pinot Noir for structure, with Chardonnay providing the spine of citrus and chalk, and a touch of Meunier rounding things out. Six years on the lees before disgorgement has given it that characteristic Krug density: toasted, layered, unhurried. To give a sense of quality, 2013 is the joint second-highest rated vintage on Vinous ever, stretching back to 1906, and many of the region’s top producers have already racked up top marks. Krug’s secondary market is famously strong - the House ranked 6th in Liv-Ex's Power 100, the highest of any Champagne - and the 2013 is a real feather in Krug’s cap.
