KRUG CHAMPAGNE BRUT FRANCE VTG 2011

On the nose: A nose of white fruits give way to tangy star fruit and citrus followed by nuances of licorice and basil leaf.

On the palate: In an interplay of delightful contrast, this Champagne opens with enveloping roundness of pastry and stewed fruit. These give way to a hint of smokiness and herbs on the palate. As if by surprise, the chiseled finish lingers with salivating notes sea salt and grapefruit zest.
