At once distinctively Krug and determinedly1995 – a champagne both serene and
spirited, harmonious and complex, in which the warmth of summer sunshine is tempered
by the crispness of autumnal nights. Instantly,the eye is engaged by Krug 1995’s lustrous
pale gold colour and playful streams of bubbles, the nose delighted by its rare
combination of ripeness and delicacy, its fragrant hints of white flowers. With the
first sip, it caresses the palate with notes of honey and almond, revealing a fullness
of texture and a richness of finish that are the perfect foil for its exhilarating freshness.
Classic, charismatic, utterly charming, Krug 1995 brings its own vivid, vivacious
personality to the legendary Krug style.

There is Champagne; then there is Krug. Magic stuff and in the top couple French non-vintage styles. The bouquet is wonderfully creamy, leading to magical combination of weight and balance on the palate. The long, lingering finish is both nutty and toasty, ending with a final flourish of freshness, leaving one longing for more.

Krug Rosé is mellow, beautifully silky and one of the most exotic Krug champagnes. Pinot Noir grapes from the best vines in Ay are vinified using a short and limited fermentation on the skins. It is then blended with Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay grapes in small oak barrels, beloved of Krug. This enchanting Krug Rosé was first produced in 1983. Pale tawny pink in colour, with tiny, effervescent bubbles, rose petals on the nose, with juniper notes and dried coriander on a bed of wild strawberries. Bone dry, the Rosé is beautifully balanced with a flavour that lingers. It has the dimension and body to partner almost any food
