1985 Krug, Champagne, Collection - Magnum

The House of Krug, founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, has maintained its tradition of fermenting base wines in small oak barrels across six generations of family involvement. This specific collection release is made from a blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 22% Meunier, sourced from the estate's high-quality vineyard plots. The wine reveals deep, mature aromas of hazelnut, honey, and dried orchard fruit, supported by a silky texture and persistent acidity on the palate. The 1985 vintage was characterized by severe winter frosts followed by a warm, sunny autumn, resulting in low yields of concentrated, balanced fruit. This magnum is ready to enjoy now for those who appreciate a mature Champagne with significant depth and enduring freshness.
