Krug Vintage is a statement – Krug’s definitive, one-off interpretation of the character of an outstanding year. The blend contains wines exclusively from that year.
TASTE
Characterized by the warm glow of yellow gold and the fragrant aroma of flowers in bloom, Krug 1998 is an enchanting champagne of astonishing purity and precision. From its creamy, caressing texture, through its full, finely balanced flavours, to its extraordinarily long finish, it is a study in harmony – delicate, refined, captivating.Red berries – Stewed fruit – Brioche – Almond – Gingerbread – Citrus
COMPOSITION
Krug Vintage is designed to blend vintage character with Krug’s house style. Krug selects young fermented wines which best represent the character of that particular year. The three grape varieties are blended to create harmony: Chardonnay’s elegance, Pinot Noir’s fullness and the fruit of carefully selected Pinot Meunier grapes bring finesse and complexity to the wine.
A HALCYON DECADE
For the House of Krug, the 1990s were a halcyon decade – ten years that produced four superb vintages, each with its own unique and outstanding personality: Krug 1990, remarkable for its combination of elegance and power; Krug 1995, classic and charismatic; Krug 1996, extreme and eccentric. Described by Olivier Krug as combining the warm, mellow character of Krug 1989 with the spirit and frankness of Krug 1995, the fourth and final vintage, Krug 1998, represents a fitting culmination to this golden decade.
