Champagne Krug
Collection 1995

The Champagne Krug Collection 1995 represents the second life of a precious Vintage. That years the perfect conditions of richness and delicacy met. Some 25 years of ageing for this Champagne, which beautifully reflects the serenity and complexity of the year 1995 now with intensity and depth. At the time of its creation, Remi Krug said it reminded him of the harmony and balance of Krug 1969 and Krug 1979, while remaining true to itself and its origin story.

Given the difficult weather circumstances of the decade, Krug Collection 1995 is only the second Krug Collection of the 1990s, which makes it even more special.

After four meteorologically difficult harvests, 1995 was a well-received year in the Champagne region. The season began with a mild, rainy winter with two short frosts in January and March, followed by a warm, sunny spring with a few frosts in April. In the ripening season, nature provided a long period of warm weather from the end of June until harvest time, resulting in very fresh, expressive fruit with character.

A serene, harmonious and exquisitely characterful Champagne, capable of delivering a truly memorable experience.

The bottles of Krug Collection 1995 are numbered in descending order according to the number of samples remaining.

Champagne Krug

The Krug Maison interprets the extraordinary adventure of Joseph Krug, a determined man, without compromises, who understood that Champagne essence is the delight itself. He wanted to offer his Clients the best of the Champagne delight, every year, regardless of the climate change. Joseph Krug founded the first and unique Maison able to offer a high quality Champagne. In 1843, when his son was still too young to manage the Maison de Champagne, Joseph Krug wrote down his principles and passed them on to the Maison in a cherry-red leaflet. That leaflet is not only of historic importance for the Maison, but also a a man's last will embracing his family and the Champagne region as well. The Maison Krug's philosophy is about grapes selection from single parcels, expressing their own features and soil characteristics; no hierarchy is needed and all vines are taken into consideration, sometimes even parcels as small as a garden. The Maison is looking for stron characters and a contrast between grapes coming from different lots. Krug is the only Maison de Champagne welcoming and representing all vines in excellent wines.
