After four challenging harvests in terms of climate, the year 1995 was welcomed in Champagne. The season began with a mild winter that was rainy with two short periods of frost in January and March, followed by a warm and sunny spring with some April frosts. Nature gifted the ripening season with a long period of heat from the end of June to the harvest, resulting in fruit with great freshness, character and expression.

Krug Collection 1995 is the second life of Krug 1995, a serene, harmonious and exquisitely characterful Champagne. It received its cork in June 2020. A second group of bottles received their cork in June 2021, identifiable through their Krug iD. To express the character of this year, the composition includes plot's wines of Pinot Noir (48%), Chardonnay (35%) and Meunier (17%).

Krug Collection 1995 translates beautifully the serenity and complexity of the year 1995 now with intensity and depth. At the time of its creation, Remi Krug said that it reminded him the harmony and balance of Krug 1969 and Krug 1979 while being itself an original story.

Now, over 25 years later, Krug Collection 1995 has become an endlessly facetted Champagne, giving the sensation of infinite layers of elegance, finesse and intensity. It is a truly memorable experience.
