Jancis Robinson February - 2009
Jancis Robinson
This is a classic vintage for Krug, indeed one of the finest wines made in this not-especially-celebrated vintage. Dense yet filigree. Dry and deep-flavoured.

Lean and fresh, with pineapple and citrus flavors. Already showing the characteristic Krug spice and cream.

In May 1988, I noted a lime-tinged colour and well developed nose, very distinctive and attractive flavour. Evolved well, and by the end of that decade had developed a walnut-like fragrance and great length. Probably delicious now.

Krug

Champagne Krug is a Champagne house based in Reims for over 160 years. The Krug house was established in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, originally from Mainz (under French rule - see: History of Mainz). It now belongs to the luxury group LVMH. It is managed by Rémi Krug, representing the fifth generation, and by cellar master Éric Lebel.

Among the main techniques used is vinification in wood in small 205-liter barrels made from Argonne forest oak. Averaging 35 years old, the barrels are repaired by the house's coopers and reused from year to year. According to the cellar master: "The longevity of our champagnes is intimately linked to their time spent in barrels." Krug champagnes are only marketed when mature; in 2005, the 1990 vintage was delivered. For some champagnes, the house releases even older vintages kept for longer periods, such as the 1981 vintage which was disgorged and marketed in 2006 with less than 2,000 bottles under the Krug Collection label.
