A fresh, charismatic nose, a promise of elegance and natural intensity, with a rich perfume of varied fruits. A broad bouquet of orange aromas is accompanied by hints of licorice and light chocolate cookie. On the palate, this Champagne reveals astonishing, balanced and delicate flavors of fresh tropical, wild and candied fruit. This vintage offers a veritable hymn to fruit of all kinds: white and red fruit, citrus, notes of blackcurrant, chocolate, candied orange peel, cocoa beans, lightly smoked honey and toast, all enhanced by a persistent, lively length on the palate. The delicate intensity of Krug 2002 goes perfectly with squash. Pair it with a duck breast reduction, roasted butternut squash and kumquat chutney, or a lentil curry with orange zest. For dessert, this Champagne goes wonderfully well with orange tiramisu or cinnamon brioche accompanied by a lemon, carrot and ginger mousse.
