About This Champagne
Krug 2011 comes from a strange, topsy-turvy year that few houses chose to bottle as a vintage. Krug did, and named the result Spirited Roundness: ample and generous, with a bright, lively streak.

About the Maison
Krug makes a Vintage from the wines that tell the story of one year most clearly, not simply the best wines of a good year. That is why an awkward season such as 2011 can still produce one.
