Layers of honeyed citrus, toasted hazelnut and dried stone fruit glide through the 1998 Krug Vintage Brut, carried by a firm, vibrant spine of acidity that keeps all its richness in perfect check. The palate feels deep and vinous yet remarkably fresh, with subtle smokiness and mineral tension giving the finish both precision and longevity. A particularly complete and classical Krug vintage, already thrilling but still very much alive in the glass.

Krug Vintage Brut is the house’s prestige millésimé Champagne, produced only in outstanding years as a powerful yet finely structured blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier that seeks to express the “story” of a single harvest. Sourced from top sites across Champagne and aged over a decade in Krug’s chalk cellars, it is known for its combination of intense complexity—often showing citrus, brioche, toasted nuts, and maritime mineral notes—with remarkable longevity and depth.
