Winemaker Notes
Krug Collection 1995, released after extended ageing in Krug’s cellars, reveals a brilliant golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The bouquet is complex and layered, offering aromas of brioche, toasted oak, lemon rind, and delicate floral notes, alongside subtle mineral undertones. On the palate, it is serene, harmonious, and exquisitely characterful, with flavors of candied citrus, roasted nuts, and chalky minerality balanced by a refined mousse. The wine shows a linear, fresh style compared to the richer 1996 vintage, yet retains remarkable depth and structure from its long maturation. The finish is long, elegant, and vibrant, embodying the essence of Krug Collection as a deeper, more mature revelation of the original 1995 vintage.
About Winery
Krug Champagne is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses in the world, known for its commitment to quality and tradition. Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, a visionary who believed in creating the best Champagne every year, regardless of climate variations. He established the house in Reims, the heart of the Champagne region. Joseph Krug’s philosophy was to focus on the individuality of each plot and its wine, creating a library of reserve wines from different years to ensure consistency and excellence. Krug is credited with pioneering the concept of non-vintage Champagne, blending wines from multiple years to achieve a consistent and complex flavor profile.
