If Dom Perignon is Champagne's Lafite, Krug is Champagne's Latour; there is a regality and class about this wine that is unmistakable.
Their 1996 is as outstanding as one would expect and the critics are united on this one!
1996 has registered extremely wide temperature variations during the cycle, rainy winter, massive frosts in February, sunny and dry spring ending in a very dry month of September with warm, sunny days and very cold nights, the perfect conditions for a great harvest (between the 20th and the 30th of September).
The result was ripened grapes with an extremely high freshness. The year 1996 is to become a year that will go down in Champagne’s history books.
Nose: Rich mature aromas before exploding in a bouquet of freshness; it elevates contrast and character to unprecedented extremes.
Palate: With firm texture, its full, ripe flavours are followed by fresh pear, candied lemon and ripe summer fruit.
Finish: Honey, gingerbread and hints of delicate mocha.
