Krug Collection 1976 750ml

Jancisrobinson.com, Aug 10, 2016
Very, very big and round and definitely old. A senior citizen. Reminds me of that period and the old champagnes I tasted then. Like buckwheat. Definitely old – the most mature of this set. But charming and a great pleasure to drink. Not desperately dark (reminiscent of the ‘89).
The first very hot year of the current era.

Krug was established in 1843 by Joseph Krug and has since specialised in producing only prestige and specialised champagnes. Krug is the only firm still producing all its champagne in small oak casks, an essential element for developing Krug's intense bouquet and complex flavours. Today, Henri, Rémi and Olivier Krug, who supervise every step of production, tasting and blending, represent the 5th and 6th generations.
With long periods of maturation (6-8 years), Krug champagne continues to age gracefully after release, developing an intensely rich, nutty flavour whilst remaining remarkably fresh.
