Product Details
Characterised by liveliness and finesse, Vintage 2003 – named “Vivacious Radiance” by the Krug maison – tells the story of a hot summer that led to a champagne surprisingly fresh and full of energy. While 2003 was a year of extremes, this vintage is considered a testament to the skill of Cellar Master Eric Lebel, who selected the best grapes for the assemblage – or blend. -

Blend and Origin
Krug Vintage 2003
This assemblage is made up of a smaller amount of chardonnay (29%), providing aromatic richness, and a higher than usual quantity of black grapes. From the south- and north-facing slopes of Montagne de Reims, pinot noir (46%) adds freshness, while vivacity comes from the meunier (25%) grown in the Champagne villages of Sainte-Gemme, Villevenard and Courmas.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
More to try
Food pairing:
This elegant vintage complements gentle flavours
Starter
Delicate fish such as sole or turbot, or shellfish with citrus-based sauces, are a good match.
Main
A veal or lamb and quince tagine is an ideal main, allowing the citrus to cut through the richness of the meat.
Dessert
A bread pudding with redcurrant coulis or an orange and grapefruit gratin would work beautifully with this vintage.
