Details
A rich, radiant gold, Krug 1996 already promises a masterful combination of maturity and acidity while its aromas tease the nose with the tartness of pear and candied lemon, the roundness of ripe fruit and nougatine.
Then, even as the taste buds are revelling in the smooth, mellow flavours of honey, gingerbread, and mocha, this extraordinary champagne unleashes its exuberant crescendo of freshness that is at once totally unexpected and utterly Krug.
1996 is widely considered to have been one of the vintages of the century in Champagne. A highly changeable summer, alternating periods of intense heat with spells of heavy rain, was followed, as harvest approached, by dry, sunny days and unusually chilly nights, producing wines of contrast and character.
Krug 1996 is exceptional - an eccentric champagne that first caresses the senses with its rich aromas, firm texture and full, ripe flavours, then dramatically explodes into jubilant freshness.
