1988 Krug Brut

$1,650.00

Krug is the first and, as yet, only Champagne House to create prestige Champagnes every year since its foundation in 1843.

At the House of Krug, every Krug Vintage celebrates the distinct character of a particular year.

Krug Vintage is not the selection of the best wines of a good year, but the selection of the wines which better express the story of the year. The creation is then enhanced by a stay over ten years in Krug’s cellars.

Description

98 Points Wine Spectator
A superb Champagne and still youthful. Honey, ginger, lemon confit, coffee and mineral aromas come to mind, all kept focused by firm, tightly wound structure. The finish is where its pedigree shines through, lingering like warm gingerbread and coffee.

97 Points Antonio Galloni
The 1988 Krug makes a fabulous start. Tasted from a perfect bottle, the 1988 remains bright and focused, with all the energy of this great vintage very much on display. Time has naturally softened some of the contours and added a good bit of nuance, but the 1988 Krug remains a Champagne of crystalline precision. I loved it.
