Krug 1989 is part of the House’s unique trilogy of three exceptional years. 1988, 1989, and 1990. The wine has a complex aroma profile, consisting of honey, white-fleshed fruits, truffles, earthy and yeasty notes, plus a subtle nuttiness in the background. The palate is bright and youthful, filled with pears, green apples, citrus fruits, marmalade, fresh figs and a touch of earth. Long finish, with undertones of minerality and spices.
Krug’s 1989 Vintage, tasted from magnum, was explosive, ripe and beautifully layered from start to finish.Antonio Galloni1st July 2010

A Champagne house that needs no introduction. Founded by Johann Krug in Reims in 1843, this celebrated Maison specialises in prestige cuvées, including the multi-vintage flagship Grande Cuvée as well as the glorious Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, made exclusively from Pinot Noir. Another highlight is the highly coveted Clos du Mesnil - a rare Blanc de Blancs produced only in exceptional years from a single, tiny 1.84ha plot of Chardonnay grapes in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Krug has been owned by LVMH since 1999.
While Krug's excellent Grande Cuvée and Rosé have historically been released as multi-vintage blends with no indication of year, the team have now started including edition numbers so consumers can easily discover the age and provenance of the base wines used in the blend.
