winemaker's notes:
Established in 1843, Krug has specialized solely in prestige and exceptional Champagne. Dedication to quality takes precedence over quantity of production. Krug is the only Champagne House still fermenting all of its champagnes the age-old way, in small oak casks.
Krug releases vintage wines in only truly great years.
Today, after more than a decade of bottle aging, Krug 1989 explodes on the palate with tremendous depth and complexity. The first impression is intense, yet it develops in the glass with delicacy, revealing lightly spiced notes of dried figs and ripe quince. Underlined by a superb structure, this wine maintains a remarkable freshness for its long aging.
