KRUG COLLECTION 1989
TIME’S SECOND REVELATION OF KRUG 1989
Krug Collection in the World of Krug
To the delight of collectors around the world, a very limited number of bottles of Krug Vintage are kept in ideal conditions in Krug’s cellars. These bottles are tasted and appraised as they wait to blossom into a second life. Krug Vintage becomes then Krug Collection, revealing a totally unprecedented personality. Krug Collection Champagnes are true examples of time sublimation; maturity reveals more facets and depth, new flavours surprise while old ones have gained structure. Krug Collection is always a surprise, a new story of a Krug Vintage. Krug Collection 1989 is the time’s second revelation of Krug 1989.
Krug Collection 1989 in Essense:
Krug 1989 is the result of this contrasting year ending with a very warm summer which gave mature, expressive, long lasting, complete and silky wines. To express the character of this year, the House blended from 25 growths, well– structured and persistent Pinot Noirs (47%), rich Chardonnays (29%) and sparkling fresh Meunier (24%).
Now, over 22 years later, Krug Collection 1989 sparks new sensations that develop under time’s magical influence, expressing an outstanding new facet of this Champagne.
Krug Collection 1989 is Unique:
- Krug 1989 is part of the House of Krug’s unique trilogy of three exceptional years (1988, 1989, 1990) with completely different climates that resulted in completely different Champagnes, all of them very Krug.
- Krug Collection 1989 is an expressive vintage, as opulent, charming and sensual as the vintages of 1982, 1976, 1964 and 1947. The House of Krug decided to present this vintage before Krug 1988.
- The Krug Collection bottles are numbered in descending order according to their rarity. They are guaranteed by Krug with a certificate of authenticity signed by Olivier Krug which can be provided upon request.
The Years of 1989
A hot, sunny and dry year with some light frosts and alternating periods of mild and cool weather in the spring led to the vineyards ripening early and resulted in beautiful maturity and full, long, opulent and silky wines.
