Krug 2003 Brut Champagne – Vintage Prestige Cuvée 750ml

Krug 2003 Brut Champagne – 750ml

The Krug 2003 is one of the most fascinating vintages ever crafted by the House of Krug. Born from an unpredictable year of extreme heat and low yields, this Champagne—nicknamed Vivacité Solaire (“Solar Vitality”)—captures the story of a season unlike any other.

A golden hue hints at its intensity, while the nose reveals toasted brioche, hazelnut, dried apricot, candied citrus, and hints of spice. The palate is opulent yet vibrant, offering layers of ripe fruit, honeyed pastry, and delicate minerality. Despite the warmth of the vintage, Krug’s signature precision and freshness remain perfectly intact.

Blending over 40% Pinot Noir with Chardonnay and Meunier, the 2003 vintage showcases Krug’s mastery in creating balance from extremes. Each sip reveals both the power of the sun and the elegance of time.

A rare and collectible release, Krug 2003 is a celebration of resilience and artistry—an unforgettable expression of the House’s unwavering pursuit of excellence.
