Wine Enthusiast January - 2016
Wine Enthusiast
This is a fabulous wine from the greatest Champagne vintage so far this century. Still young, it blends almost equal amounts of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fleshed out with Pinot Meunier. The minerality and the rich apple and green fruits are balanced, and acidity cuts into the wine with a pure, perfumed line of freshness. The wine could be drunk now, but it will age well into the the 2020s.

Falstaff June - 2020
Falstaff
Medium golden yellow, silvery shimmer, very delicate perlage. Aroma of orange marmalade, white flowers, a delicately nutty undertone of biscuits, a multifaceted, well-developed bouquet. Substantial texture, fresh yellow fruit, fine and balanced, notes of blossom honey, some peach, seems incredibly youthful, fine caramel, delicate dried fruits, very, very long finish, juicy and invigorating. Great length, promising ageing potential, nothing less than a perfect Champagne.

Doctorwine : The character of the 2002 harvest exuberantly explodes in the glass with a lucent, pale-golden colour and a bouquet of fresh fruit, hazelnut and slightly toasted almonds. All this on a cushion of tropical fruit, freshly cut pineapple, fresh ginger and red currant with a veil of linden honey in the finish. The mouthfeel is generous and full with charismatic intensity, vital tension and a vibrant richness of fruit which complement a lovely saline streak and an almost smoky hint. The finish has an exciting persistence, invigorated by an incessant and dynamic alternation of depth and acuteness. A Champagne with great energy that has only just begun to build a reputation.

Definitely more youthful with probably more potential than its pair (the 2004) but it's very tricky to guess the vintage. Hint of veginess and punch. Very long indeed. A real peacock's tail on the finish. Impressive.

Pale yellow colour. Intense, fine, fruity nose, finely buttery and without extravagance. Full on the attack, juicy on the development, particularly aromatic in the mid-palate, the wine develops complexity on a refined texture. It takes flight in the final part of the mouth, long and impossible to spit out. Bravo!

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Krug's 2002 Brut has an intense citrus colour and opens with a generous, intense yet fine and precise bouquet that indicates great depth and elegance. Red fruit flavours on the nose lead to a generously rich yet pure, highly refined and elegant palate, with lots of ripe cherry fruits and delicious yeasty flavours. This is a highly complex and tensioned but beautifully balanced 2002 with a charming dosage that gives perfect roundness. The finish, however, is clear, fresh and well-structured, if not taut, and very mineral. Tasted in Reims in April 2018.

Wine Spectator August - 2016
Wine Spectator
Beautifully aromatic, this leads with aromas of ground clove, coffee liqueur and mandarin orange peel, adding crystallised honey, dried cherry, acacia blossom and toasted brioche notes on the expansive palate. Rich in flavour and broad in structure, with verve driving this through to the long, satiny finish. Drink now through 2027.

Krug

Champagne Krug is a Champagne house based in Reims for over 160 years. The Krug house was founded in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, originally from Mainz (under French rule - see: History of Mainz). It now belongs to the luxury group LVMH. It is run by Rémi Krug, representing the fifth generation, and by cellar master Éric Lebel.

Among the main techniques used is vinification in wood in small 205-liter barrels made from oak from the Argonne forest. With an average age of 35 years, the barrels are repaired by the house's coopers and reused from one year to the next. According to the cellar master: "The longevity of our champagnes is intimately linked to the time they spend in the barrels." Krug champagnes are only marketed when mature; in 2005, the 1990 vintage was delivered. For some champagnes, the house releases old vintages that have been preserved even longer, such as the 1981 vintage, which was disgorged and marketed in 2006 in less than 2,000 bottles under the name Krug Collection.
