Lot 488 Details
KRUG CHAMPAGNE VINTAGE BRUT 2002

Champagne.
scuffed label.

Krug's 2002 Brut has an intense citrus color and opens with a generous, intense yet fine and precise bouquet that indicates great depth and elegance. Red fruit flavors on the nose lead to a generously rich yet pure, highly refined and elegant palate, with lots of ripe cherry fruits and delicious yeasty flavors. 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. June 2018 WA 97+

1 bt.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $1,086
