RATINGS
Publication: Burghound
Rating: 91
(from Fourchaume and Vaupoulent). A deft but not invisible application of wood set off ripe and fresh aromas of green fruit, pear, apple and quinine wisps. There is excellent richness and volume to the sappy, lush and textured medium weight flavors that possess both good punch and focused power, all wrapped in a clean, dry and ever-so-mildly austere finale. Lovely and a relatively elegant example of the cru. 91/2020+
Publication: Vinous
Rating: 91
Pale, bright yellow. Deeply pitched, youthfully subdued nose hints at nectarine, caraway seed and mint. The most intensely flavored of these 2014s, showing firm acidity and saline minerality for this often exotic premier cru. Offers an enticing balance of citrus and stone fruit flavors and salty lift and finishes with very good subtle length and sneaky energy. — 7 years ago

Grande Cuvée NV. Oldest wine 1988. Amazing. Blend works especially well here. Rich and generous. Concentrated, but precise and long. Citrus and stone fruit - fresh. Touch of coffee notes that adds complexity and complexity to the mid palate. NB: 4,000 kg Marc translates to 2,050 for 1st Taille. 450 litres for 2nd and 3rd tail is sold off to third parties - never used for Krug. — 9 years ago

Die Cabernet Sauvignon Trauben dieses Weins stammen von einem einzigartigen Weinberg im Alto Jahuel am Fuße der Anden, dessen Rebstöcke alle mindestens 25 Jahre alt sind. Das Alter der Rebstöcke und die Beschaffung des Bodens sorgen für eine natürliche Einschränkung des Ertrags. Ohne menschliche Einmischung produzieren die Pflanzen nur ca. 6.000 kg Trauben pro Hektar. Die Trauben werden sehr sorgfältig handverlesen und dann der liebevollen Fürsorge und dem Weinverstand ihrer Meisterin Cecilia Torres übergeben. So entsteht durch die Zusammenarbeit von Natur, die durch den langsamen Reifeprozess im Maipotal für Trauben mit hoher Fruchtkonzentration sorgt, der "Zauberkraft" von Cecilia Torres und neuen französischen Eichenfässern, in denen der Wein seiner Bestimmung entgegen reift, dieser wahrhaft edle Tropfen. Bei diesem Wein bedarf es keiner Worte über seine leuchtend rubinrote Farbe, seinem üppigen und fruchtigen Bouquet oder seinem komplexen Geschmack mit fruchtiger Fülle, dieser Wein muss getrunken werden, um ihn zu verstehen. Es ist ein ganz phantastischer und einzigartiger Wein, der zu kräftigem und würzigem Essen sehr gut passt, und auch sonst, wo man einen vollmundigen, eleganten Wein braucht. Dieser Traum von einem Wein verfügt über hervorragendes Lagerpotential, was ihn in den nächsten Jahren noch über sich hinaus wachsen lassen wird. — 11 years ago
