Krug Collection 1982
To the delight of Krug Lovers around the world, a very limited number of bottles of Krug Vintage are kept in ideal conditions in the House’s cellars. Over time, they continue to develop in maturity, revealing flavours and aromas of astonishing freshness, elegance and finesse.
The Cellar Master and the Tasting Committee take note of these additional facets and depth that have emerged. New flavours surprise whilst old ones have evolved in structure. At that moment, they decide these bottles are ready to receive their cork, to be presented to the world as Krug Collection: the deeper story of a Krug Vintage.


A word from
The cellar master

Krug Collection 1982 a rather full-bodied champagne for the Maison, evocative of the renowned 1964 or even 1953 vintages.
Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

FOOD PAIRING
Krug Collection 1982 can be enjoyed with Indian or Vietnamese food, as well as many creative combinations such as shrimps with mango sauce, chicken curry, aged comté, autumn fruit desserts, orange soufflé or a tasty carrot cake.

TASTING NOTES
At first sight, it is elegant with lasting bubbles and a fantastic colour seemingly untouched by time.
On the nose, mocha aromas with hazelnut and an opulent rich maturity and depth, revealing a peppery tang. On the palate, rich honey and crystallized and tropic fruit with hints of mango and mild spices which slowly gain strength.
