Krug 2008 est l'expression mono-millésime de la récolte 2008 chez Krug — une année largement considérée comme l'un des grands millésimes du début du XXIᵉ siècle en Champagne, marquée par une maturation fraîche, une acidité tendue et un potentiel de garde inhabituel.
Comme toute cuvée Krug Vintage, elle assemble plus d'une vingtaine de vins issus de l'année, vinifiés parcelle par parcelle et fermentés en partie en petits fûts de chêne. Le vin reste largement plus d'une décennie sur lies dans les caves rémoises de la maison, dosé bas au dégorgement. Krug 2008 a été commercialisé en 2019 et a fait l'objet d'un programme d'accords gastronomiques (Studio Krug) ainsi que d'une interprétation musicale par Max Richter dans la série de dégustations menée par la maison.

Pale golden yellow, silver reflections, fine, lively and persistent mousse. Initially fresh baked goods, cookie and almonds, in the background acacia honey and blossom, fine nuances of candied lime zest, ripe cherries and oranges in the background, symphonic bouquet. A rich texture that conveys great freshness, taut chalkiness combines with fruity acidity, appears young and taut, shows a deep finish with enormous length; all true Champagne lovers have rightly been looking forward to this classic beauty.Lively, complex and precise, carried by an incredible lightness and offering great drinking pleasure. Champagne doesn\'t get any better than this.

This is very structured and framed with an almost red sensibility. Very phenolic. Full-bodied in a tightly wound ball with so much going on. Very pinot like. Mineral and stone. Shell and stone. Iodine. Vinous. The bubbles just fade into the finish of the wine, which goes on for minutes. Turns to toffee and salted caramel with time in the glass. One for the cellar. Great length. Blend of 53% pinot noir, 25% pinot meunier, 22% chardonnay. Disgorged in beginning of 2020. Drink or hold.

Had this twice over the past few weeks, and it was incredible both times. Sharp as a razor\'s edge, the wine is marked by its blinding, razor\'s edge of acidity. Crisp, crackling, bright, perfectly ripe, yellow citrus, crushed rocks, almonds, and brioche are all over the place. The resilient finish just keeps on going This is a Krug to age.

A vintage Champagne from this producer is rare. But 2008 was a great year in Champagne and that shows in this intense, still amazingly young wine. Freshness works with the richness to give concentration, density and the sure-fire possibility of long-term aging. So drink now, but the Champagne will last for many years. Roger Voss

Das Jahr 2008 war eines der kühlsten Jahre in der Champagne seit 4 Jahren und hat dem Jahrgang 2008 den Spitznamen «Classic Beauty» gegeben. Intensiver Goldton im Glas, präsentieren sich ausdrucksstarke Aromen wie Honig, etwas Lakritz, auch Minze, Organgen- und Grapefruitnoten in der Nase. Am Gaumen sehr reich und mit grosser Spannung, Fruchtnoten von kandierten Früchten, Zitronenzeste, aber auch Butterkaramell und Orangenschale. Langer, eleganter Abgang mit sagenhafter Struktur.
