Krug Champagne Vintage 2011 is notable for an elegant, measured profile. The color is straw-yellow with golden highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, aromas of white-fleshed fruit and ripe citrus emerge, accompanied by more complex notes of bread crust, almond and light toasted nuances. The overall impression is harmonious, with a present acidity that supports the structure without overwhelming the sip.

On the palate it shows a balance between freshness and salinity, with an articulated flavor texture and a progression leading to a long, clean finish. It works well served on its own or paired with seafood, crustaceans, delicate fish dishes and soft cheeses; it also pairs with preparations of white meat. Serve well chilled, preferably in a flute or white wine glass at around 8–10 °C.
