Krug Brut 1979 750ml

Jancisrobinson.com/ Tasted: Mar 21, 2015
Brassy gold colour. Definitely somehow 'burnished' on the nose with a hint of almonds. Fresh finish with a real tingle running through it. Super-clean and brisk even at this great age. Quite remarkable. Very persistent.

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.
