Krug Collection 1985
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.


Krug Collection 1985 is a broad, concentrated and deep blend with ample fruit aromas.
Pinot Noir (48%), Chardonnay (30%) and Meunier (22%) are at the origin of this very unique and original Champagne, remarkable for its balance and quality.
A word from
The cellar master

Due to its strong climate, the year 1985 in Champagne left a lasting impression on Henri Krug, president of the Maison from 1977 to 2002.
Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

FOOD PAIRING
Excellent combinations also include desserts such as orange pudding, carrot cake or autumn baked fruits with a light sabayon sauce.

TASTING NOTES
Aromas of warm bread fresh from the oven, mild spices and even pepper and wax. On the palate they come together in unctuous, generous opulence with honey and toffee flavours while highlighting delicate, rare flavours of white truffle, as well as perfectly ripened figs and even blackcurrant, bursting with sunshine.
