Tasting note

庫克2008年份帶著輕鬆又沉穩的氣場：色澤金黃明亮，香氣層次豐富，從蜂蜜、甘草、薄荷到鮮明的柑橘皮與果醬感，充滿細緻變化。2008年為冷涼年，成熟緩慢，使葡萄保有緊實的酸度與迷人的礦物感；酒莊挑選能講述當年故事的葡萄批次，經傳統釀法與長期瓶陳（超過12年），口感結構飽滿且質地細緻，氣泡細膩，酸度明亮卻與奶油餅乾、烤杏仁與焦糖風味和諧互動。無論即開或短時間醒醒酒，都能展現迷人的張力與悠長餘韻。非常適合海鮮、經典日料或搭配成熟起司，共同慶祝重要時刻。

Krug 2008 Vintage Brut is a superb expression of a cool, classical year in Champagne: a golden, crystalline appearance that opens into a rich, layered perfume — honeyed notes, liquorice and menthol threaded with bright citrus zest and ripe orchard fruit. The House’s philosophy of choosing the parcels that best ‘play the music of the year’ is evident here: an intricate, textured palate with intense freshness, taut chalky minerality and a dense, almost tactile mouthfeel gained from more than a decade in Krug’s cellars. Made by traditional method, disgorged recently after extended ageing, this wine balances power and finesse with an astonishingly long, precise finish. Cellar-friendly yet imminently rewarding, it pairs brilliantly with shellfish, refined starters, rich cheeses and even restrained chocolate desserts.

Winery

Krug 是一間重視年份個性的傳奇酒莊，創辦理念是不追求標準化的極品，而是挑出能講述當年故事的批次，並在酒窖中長時間養成風味。2008 年在冷涼氣候下成熟緩慢，Krug 透過細心調配與長期瓶陳，讓酒體有厚度、層次與收藏價值。現為 LVMH 旗下，但仍保有對細節與傳統工藝的堅持。

Krug is a legendary Champagne House founded on the principle of expressive, individual vintages. Rather than simply selecting the 'best' parcels, Krug chooses the wines that best tell the story of the year and matures them long in its cellars to develop richness, harmony and finesse. Now part of LVMH, the House remains dedicated to meticulous blending and extended ageing that create depth, texture and exceptional ageing potential.
