Krug is Champagne’s most glittering, most prestigious and most rare house. It is also almost universally rated as it’s greatest, with no expense spared in the production of its wines.
Single-year Krug is only released in the greatest Champagne vintages – between 1985 and 1995 only six vintages were made. One of the great wines of the world, Krug is capable of aging in bottle for many years, developing mind-altering complexity. At recent vertical tasting going back to the 1929 vintage, Krug was described by those present as “a wine of incredible life”. It’s style is at once dense, dry, full-bodied and powerful, while maintaining a supreme finesse over its always amazingly long finish.
Wine Spectator’s Bruce Sanderson describes Krug Vintage 1995 perfectly:
"98 points. A very youthful ’95. Delicate. Intense aromas of ginger, citrus, candied berry and multigrain bread turn to honey, roasted almonds and graphite on the palate. It’s all underscored by a precise structure and creamy texture. Its structure keeps it persistent through the long finish. A picture of precision and intensity. Drink now though 2025."
