In the cellar

Krug Vintage 1995

The story of the year, captured by Krug.

At Maison Krug, every Krug Vintage celebrates the distinct character of a particular year – a blend of its most expressive wines, enhanced by a stay of over ten years in the cellars. Each Krug Vintage is different: it tells the story of the unique circumstances of the year, of what surprised, enchanted or moved our Tasting Committee in the tasting room.

The serene and harmonious reflection of warm summer sunshine tempered by crisp autumn nights, Krug 1995 exhibits great character, elegance and length. It was born from a year when Nature gifted expressive fruit with great levels of freshness and character.

Krug 1995 is delicate blend of Pinot Noir (48%), Chardonnay (35%) and Meunier (17%).

The cellar master

The expressive and generous wines of 1995 were a gift from nature following the challenging harvests of previous years.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Krug 1995 pairs elegantly with spicy or exotic recipes including Japanese, Chinese, Indian or Thai dishes seasoned with crystallized ginger and other spices.

This Champagne is also a beautiful match for scallops, shrimp or lobster with paprika and sauterne sauce or even veal with black pepper or light mustard sauce. Desserts with roasted fruits such as apples or peaches further enhance the experience.

TASTING NOTES

Krug 1995 is characterized by a lustrous pale gold colour and playful streams of bubbles.

On the nose, the Champagne delights by its rare combination of ripeness and delicacy, its fragrant hints of white flowers, freshly baked gingerbread and candied fruits alongside ripe melon.

On the palate, Krug 1995 is generous and full, velvety with a hint of almonds and honey, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus fruits, even pink grapefruit enhanced by a remarkable finish.

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.

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.
