In the cellar
Krug Collection
Time’s second revelation of Krug Vintage.
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

"Due to the challenging circumstances of the decade in terms of weather, Krug Collection 1995 is only the second Krug Collection of the 90s, which makes it all the more special."
Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

FOOD PAIRING
Krug Collection 1995 reveals outstanding grace and is an elegant match for classic recipes such as delicate fish with a lemon cream sauce, slightly fatty oysters, sea bream tartar, or a truffle omelette.
This Champagne will also deliciously accompany desserts such as a citrus upside-down tart or an orange crepe Suzette.

TASTING NOTES
Krug Collection 1995 reveals a lustrous pale gold colour.
On the nose, aromas of cocoa, orange marmalade, and biscuits.
On the palate, refreshingly contrasting notes of delightful pastry, madeleine with butter, and candied orange that give way to bitter orange, enhanced by a remarkably fresh finish on vibrant citrus and very subtle lemon.
Note:
Serving Temperature
The House of Krug recommends that its Champagnes be served between 9°C and 12°C, as colder temperatures limit the expression of their flavours and aromas.
Note:
The Joseph Glass
In 2011, we partnered with renowned crystalware maker, Riedel, to design a glass that would reveal the fullness of flavours and aromas of Krug champagnes.
Note:
The Influence of Time
All Krug champagnes gain in complexity and patina with the passage of time. We recommend storing them at the same temperature as you intend to serve them, between 9°C and 12°C.
