Krug Collection 1985
Of all the wine world’s luxury brands, Krug is perhaps the most glittering. No expense is spared in its production, though the techniques used are in fact remarkably artisanal, including fermentation in small, old wooden casks and, as Henri Krug once told me, they have “no idea” whether the malolactic fermentation takes place or not. (It is not provoked, but happens anyway) Time is of the essence: the overall ageing cycle is the best part of a decade here, with all wines being aged for at least six years sur-pointes (upended, after the ‘ordinary’ ageing period that follows the second fermentation is included). more »
Tasting Notes
Krug Collection represents the last bottles available of an exceptional past vintage, carefully stored in the Krug cellars. An absolute rarity, it is the ultimate expression of the legendary longevity of Krug champagnes. The first fermentation in small oak casks, which naturally favours a slow, long evolution of the wine, means that Krug Vintages remain almost eternally fresh and lively. At the same time, they go through different lifecycles, during which the overall balance of the taste shifts as individual flavours become more intense. With Krug Collection, flavours such as roasted brioche, vanilla and caramel come to the fore, followed by dried fruit, honey and coffee, and later still truffles. he experience of any Krug Collection depends both on the individual characteristics of the particular vintage and on the point it has reached in the aging process. For this reason, Krug Collection is endlessly surprising - a true discovery. If stored in perfect conditions, a Krug champagne will mature almost indefinitely, revealing a wealth of new facets as it does so. In the case of Krug Collection, the bottles have lain undisturbed in the cool and calm of the Krug cellars for their entire lives, and so can be guaranteed by Krug. Bottles and magnums of Krug Collection are individually numbered in descending order as they are released, further enhancing their rarity value and desirability.
