Gault&Millau's review
2020
98/100
This cuvée, built around the 2007 vintage, is a superb, fully mature edition. The nose is particularly aromatic, with notes of candied lemon, beeswax, menthol and smoky notes that open up to a saline, iodized side, followed by a particularly complex, fresh palate, almost sharp and greedy at the same time. The long finish is salivating, with lovely bitters. An absolutely sublime edition.

Krug
True to its family spirit, thanks to the key role played by Olivier Krug, even though it has been part of the LVMH group since 1999, this house is one of the most prestigious in the region. Around 30% of supplies come from its own vineyards, including two highly prized clos: Clos du Mesnil for a blanc de blancs and Clos d'Ambonnay for a blanc de noirs. Yet it is the "Grande Cuvée" that best embodies the famous Krug style. Produced with grapes from more than ten harvests and aged for a long time in bottle, each year the blend recomposes wines from several terroirs (more than 120) aged separately. Julie Cavil is the house cellar master.
