Brut 2004 - 97+ AG: Krug's 2004 Vintage is absolutely mesmerizing. Layers of bright, chiseled fruit open up effortlessly as the wine fleshes out with time in the glass. Persistent and beautifully focused, with a translucent sense of energy, the 2004 captures all the best qualities of the year. Moreover, the 2004 is clearly superior to the consistently underwhelming 2002 and the best Krug Vintage since 1996. Readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is a magical bottle. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Grande Cuvee MV - 98 WA: Composed around the harvest of 2004 with no less than 121 wines from 12 different vintages dating back as far as 1990, Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 160ème Édition (ID 214025) is in brilliant shape today and a great Champagne. Composed of 44% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 23% Pinot Meunier, this intensely yellow-golden shining cuvée is very deep and complex on the rich, perfectly ripe and balanced nose where ripe stone fruit aromas such as peaches and mirabelles are displayed in the first moments along with some dashes of fresh lime or lemon juice on a lobster fished out of the Atlantic just a short while before. After a while, beautiful iodine and algal expressions intertwine with mussels and limestone notes on the fascinatingly pure, dense and mineral nose. The palate is intense, round, lush and almost rich, but it has the lifting finesse and mineral freshness of the 2004 ingredient, which leads to a very long yet highly delicate and perfectly balanced finish with stimulating salinity and mineral structure. Tasted in New York in November 2018, four and a half years after the disgorgement. - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

The year 2004 will long be remembered in Champagne for its generosity. Nature’s elation afforded a breadth of choice, giving rise to two distinct expressions of nature at Krug: Krug 2004, the House’s most recent vintage, and Krug Grande Cuvée 160ème Édition. To the delight of Krug Lovers all over the world, Krug 2004 and Krug Grande Cuvée 160ème Édition will be available in a limited-edition wooden case offer named “Les Créations de 2004”.
