What It Means When Krug Declares a Year

Krug Vintage Brut 1995 · Champagne, France · tasted 16 July 2026

For Krug, a vintage is not 'a wine from a good year' but a portrait of a year too distinctive to blend away. Thirty years on, the 1995 — Champagne's first generous season after a difficult run — still stands upright.

Thirty-Five Winters of Krug

Krug Vintage 1989 · Champagne, France · tasted 24 September 2024

Krug's Vintage is a portrait of a single year, released only after a decade or more in the cellars. At thirty-five, the 1989 — a sun-blessed, generous season — stood at the absolute peak of maturity, opulent yet never slack.
