Elegant, layered and ceaselessly toasty, Krug elevates a special event into an extraordinary one.

Absolute perfection on its own,

but bold enough for roasted oysters

and seared duck breast with figs.

The 2002 vintage, released after the 2003 (like '88 after '89) was a perfect storm for Krug. Warm growing season, rain at opportune times. Through his "art of assemblage", Chef de Cave, Eric Lebel, has achieved a bottling to stand next to 1996 and 1990 as the exclamation points of the last 30 years. Vibrant, intense, nervy, intellectual, beautifully balanced and stunningly elegant.
