1981 Krug Collection

The Krug Collection is not a late-disgorged concept, rather one of late release….Wines, disgorged at the normal time, which is in any event after a fairly leisurely sojourn in bottle, are allowed to mature in the Krug cellars in Reims. When they are released, it is because Olivier or Rémi feel that they are ready to enjoy and tosavour. One can not fault them in this instance. A rich hedonistic delight, the famous exotic fruit and oak influence calmed by the passage of time, this magnum is a banquet…..savoury and rich, the hints of mushroom and truffle adding an appropriate and venerable garnish.
