Krug 2013 is finally here, from one of the greatest modern Champagne vintages. To give a sense of quality, 2013 is the joint second-highest rated vintage on Vinous ever, stretching back to 1906, and many of the region’s top producers have already racked up top marks. Krug’s secondary market is famously strong - the House ranked 6th in Liv-Ex's Power 100, the highest of any Champagne - and the 2013 is a real feather in Krug’s cap.
This is classic Krug: fragrant, layered, and immediately appealing, with citrus, orchard fruit, and a fine mineral backbone. The palate is generous without losing freshness, showing energy, definition, and a long, elegant finish. It’s a vintage that works beautifully now, yet has the structure to evolve gracefully for years to come.
What the critics say:
"Originating from an October harvest, Krug’s 2013 Brut has turned out very well, delivering—against the backdrop of the slow, late-ripening season and another high-acid test, qualities rendered all the more evident by the house’s methods—the requisite aromatic plenitude and textural properties. Disgorged in early 2024 with a dosage of five grams per liter, the wine emerges from the glass with a deep bouquet of lemon oil, fresh apricot and quince mingled with nashi pear and brioche crust, complemented by a top note of lightly burnt buttered toast. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, chiseled and racy-fresh, structured around a spine of incisive acidity and chalky extract, concluding with a long, citrus-driven, saline-tinged finish."
