Krug Collection
represents the last bottles available of an exceptional past
vintage, carefully stored in the Krug cellars. An absolute rarity,
it is the ultimate expression of the legendary longevity of Krug
champagnes.
TASTE:
The first fermentation in small oak casks, which naturally favours a
slow, long evolution of the wine, means that Krug Vintages remain
almost eternally fresh and lively. At the same time, they go through
different lifecycles, during which the overall balance of the taste
shifts as individual flavours become more intense. With Krug
Collection, flavours such as roasted brioche, vanilla and caramel
come to the fore, followed by dried fruit, honey and coffee and
later still truffles.
The experience of any
Krug Collection depends both on the individual characteristics of
the particular vintage and on the point it has reached in the aging
process. For this reason, Krug Collection is endlessly surprising –
a true discovery.
THE REVELATION OF
TIME: If stored in perfect conditions, a Krug champagne will
mature almost indefinitely, revealing a wealth of new facets as it
does so. In the case of Krug Collection, the bottles have lain
undisturbed in the cool and calm of the Krug cellars for their
entire lives, and so can be guaranteed by Krug. Bottles and magnums
of Krug Collection are individually numbered in descending order as
they are released, further enhancing their rarity value and
desirability. |
