Collection 1988

Krug (hentet 2. nov. 2026): Krug Collection 1988 is the second life of Krug 1988, a beautiful Champagne of extreme elegance and refinement with perfect roundness and length. To express the character of 1988, this Champagne is a blend of intense Pinot Noir (50%), elegant and round Chardonnay (32%) and very fresh Meunier (18%). There are no rules governing when a bottle becomes Krug Collection. The year 1989 revealed its second life sooner than 1988, so Krug Collection 1989 left the cellars first, after Krug Collection 1990 has already been presented. Tasting notes: At first sight, a deep, intense golden colour announces maturity, opulence, harmony and elegance. On the nose, exotic and complex with notes of white fruits, truffle, spices, honey, slightly browned apples and a hint of high-toned flowers, with a gentle nuttiness in the background. On the palate, long, fresh and elegant. It is full of sensations: orange blossom, dried figs, ripe quince, mild spices such as cinnamon and ginger combined with maple syrup, dark chocolate, coffee, honey, as well as roasted notes. It has a crystal and long finish with undertones of mineral and spices.
