Critics Ratings

'Dense, tense on the nose but by now quite opulent on the palate. This is probably a pretty good time to enjoy this wine.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Sep 2019)

'Rich and mouthwatering, this powerhouse Champagne is driven by vivacious acidity, with an expansive palate featuring flavors of glazed apricot, toasted brioche, candied kumquat and ginger, espresso crème, fleur de sel and cognac. The well-spiced finish is long and lingering. Disgorged summer 2013. Drink now through 2030.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 97/100 (Nov 2015)

'The Krug vintage 2000 Brut smells strikingly redolent of sea breeze, kelp, and piles of oyster and mussel shells, allied to lemon oil and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate, the aforementioned elements serve for compulsive salivation, while a lusciously juicy amalgam of lime, grapefruit and apple tinged with piquancy of their pips buoys the salty wave of mineral matter into a profoundly protracted finish that bursts with brightness and at the same time reveals mouthwateringly savory crab shell reduction and a hitherto largely hidden dark side of smoky Latakia tobacco, dark-roasted coffee, and toasted grains. Expect this to merit following for 12-15 years.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Nov 2013)
