Critic tasting note: "(2011) Fabulous flinty, nutty, totally involving nose, with spices, orange oil and biscuit. On the palate some of that brioche richness comes through, in an expansive wine where those complex layers are riven with acidity that scythes through into a huge finish." - 97/100, Tom Cannavan

- Producer Notes
- Krug Vintage is created as Joseph wrote, “according to the circumstances.” In the House of Krug, 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, those wines which better play the music of the year. The creation is then enhanced by a stay over ten years in Krug’s cellars.

Mild winter, rainy with two short periods of frost in January and March. Sunny and warm spring, then a few frosts end of April. Long period of heat from end of June to the harvest completed the cycle giving wines with great level of fruit and expression while having a high level of freshness, a promise of elegance and length.

Instantly, the eye is engaged by Krug 1995’s lustrous pale gold colour and playful streams of bubbles. On the nose, delights by its rare combination of ripeness and delicacy, its fragrant hints of white flowers, freshly baked gingerbread and candied fruits alongside ripe melon. In the mouth, Krug 1995 is generous and full, velvety with a hint of almonds and honey, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus fruits, even pink grapefruit enhanced by a remarkable finish. Krug 1995 combines finesse and elegance; it enchants us now, and will continue to surprise us for years and decades to come.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 1995 Champagne vintage was, overall, good.
The vintage came as a welcome relief as Champagne had, from 1990 through to 1994, endured a streak of bad vintages too unfit to be declared.
The summer was warm and steady right up until early September which saw some rain. ...
