Gault&Millau's review
2025
97/100
Aromas of vine peach and fresh bread crust contribute to an opulent, generous nose that retains a touch of mystery. Powerful, the palate is restrained like a thoroughbred kept short. Ripe fruit, insolent aromas of bitter orange, in a material as luminous as ancient gold from the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. You can't stop savoring each sip, which brings its share of new aromas. Quite superb today, but will need many years to reveal its full potential.

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.
