Krug Vintage Champagne Brut 2008 is an excellent champagne, considered one of the most remarkable vintages from the famous Krug house. This wine is a tribute to Krug's philosophy of precision, complexity and harmony, and the 2008 vintage stands as one of the most iconic in recent champagne history.

Flavor profile

  • Color: A clear golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles that exude elegance and freshness.
  • Nose: A complex and inviting bouquet with notes of citrus, green apples, pears and ripe stone fruits. Followed by subtle layers of honey, brioche, toasted nuts and mineral notes reminiscent of limestone and sea salt.
  • Taste: Full-bodied and refined with lively acidity that balances the ripe fruit notes. The palate reveals layers of lemon, grapefruit, white flowers and a creamy texture from its long aging. The finish is long and elegant with a perfect balance of freshness and complexity.

Year 2008

2008 was an exceptional vintage for Champagne, with cool and stable conditions resulting in grapes with excellent acidity and concentration. This produced wines with longevity and depth. Krug Vintage 2008 is known for its precise structure and almost timeless character.

Serving suggestions

This champagne is perfect for special occasions and goes well with elegant dishes such as oysters, lobster, caviar, sashimi or delicate truffle dishes. It can also be enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate its complexity. Serve at approx. 10-12°C.

Unique character

Krug Vintage 2008 is more than just a wine; it is an experience. It represents the house's unique approach to vintage champagne, where each wine must reflect the essence of the year combined with Krug's signature style. Aged for over 10 years before release, it has achieved a harmonious depth that only gets better with time.

This champagne can be enjoyed now, but has enormous aging potential of at least 20-30 years, where it will develop further complexity and finesse. Krug 2008 is a true gem for collectors and champagne lovers.

Here is a detailed description of the different types of champagne, sorted by dryness.

Types of sparkling wine

1. Brut Nature (also called Ultra Brut or Zéro Dosage)

Sugar content: Below 3 g/l (no added sugar)

Taste profile: Extremely dry, razor-sharp acidity and mineral character. Very clean and natural taste, where the terroir of the champagne and the original flavor nuances of the grapes stand out clearly.

When to drink it? Best with oysters, shellfish, sushi or as an aperitif for those who like an ultra-dry taste experience.

2. Extra Brut

Sugar content: 0-6 g/l

Taste profile: Very dry, but with a slightly more rounded character than Brut Nature. The taste is still fresh and mineral, with high acidity and finesse.

When to drink it? Perfect with lighter dishes like ceviche, carpaccio or salads with citrus and seafood.

3. Brute

Sugar content: Up to 12 g/l

Taste profile: Dry, but with a bit more balance and roundness. Brut is the most popular type of champagne, as it combines freshness with a light fruity sweetness. The taste often has notes of green apples, citrus fruits, white flowers and a slightly toasted character from the fermentation.

When to drink it? Ideal as an aperitif or with versatile dishes such as poultry, fish dishes, soft cheeses and even lightly spiced food.

4. Extra Dry

Sugar content: 12-17 g/l

Flavor Profile: Despite the name, this type is not dry, but rather semi-dry. It has a slight sweetness that gives it a softer and more fruity profile, but still retains a fresh acidity.

When to drink it? Goes well with foie gras, Asian food with a bit of sweetness (like Thai or Vietnamese dishes) or mild cheeses.

6. Demi-Sec

Sugar content: 32-50 g/l

Taste profile: Distinctly sweet with a silky texture. The taste has notes of tropical fruits, candied citrus, honey and brioche. However, the acidity keeps it fresh and not overwhelmingly heavy.

When to drink it? Ideal with sweet desserts like crème brûlée, fruit tarts or nut-based cakes. Can also be an exciting contrast to strong cheeses like Roquefort.

7. Sweet

Sugar content: Over 50 g/l

Taste profile: Very sweet, almost like a dessert wine. Has intense notes of honey, caramel, dried fruits and exotic spices.

When to drink it? Perfect as a dessert on its own or with the sweetest desserts like chocolate fondant, panna cotta or vanilla ice cream with caramel.
