Krug Brut Champagne 1998

€1.15000
Tax included, shipping and discounts calculated at checkout.

Krug 1998 is one of the most harmonious mature vintages of the house, uniting the richness of an aged Champagne, the signature depth and a surprising liveliness. For connoisseurs it is precisely such mature vintages that best show why Krug is considered one of the greatest Champagne houses. A historic feature of the house is vinification in small oak barrels, which gives the Champagne additional depth, texture and outstanding potential for development. It is this fidelity to those traditions over many generations that has shaped the recognisable Krug style, considered one of the most complex and most multi-faceted in Champagne.

  • Compatibility

    Ideally suited to dishes with porcini, truffle, roast poultry, veal and aged cheeses. The nutty, honeyed and spicy shades of this mature Champagne unfold particularly harmoniously alongside noble earthy and creamy flavours.

  • Color

    Deep golden colour with noble amber glints.

  • Scent

    The nose unfolds with notes of orange zest, dried apricot and yellow fruit, complemented by shades of toasted bread, hazelnut, almond and honey. With aeration, nuances of spices, tobacco and truffle appear, along with the depth characteristic of mature Champagne.

  • Taste

    The palate combines ripe citrus, dried fruit, nuts, pastry and honeyed notes. Despite its age, the wine keeps an impressive freshness, acidity and balance, moving into a very long, multi-layered finish with mineral and slightly spicy shades.

98/100

Wine Spectator

This harmonious Champagne offers luxurious texture and powerful, focused acidity, showing aromatic accents of spring blossom, crushed thyme and chai, with rich notes of lemon meringue, hazelnut, black currant and fresh porcini mushroom. The full package. Impressive.
