Krug 1996 magnum

Krug 1996 Magnum is one of the most celebrated expressions from the legendary House of Krug, offering the grandeur and precision that collectors look for in top-tier vintage Champagne.

In magnum format, its evolution is even more graceful, promising added complexity over time.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Krug 1996 shows a bright, radiant character with a refined golden hue and a persistent mousse. The nose is immediately compelling, opening with citrus fruit, green apple, and toasted nuts before unfolding into deeper layers of caramel, brioche, and spice. On the palate, it is vibrant and tightly structured, driven by a powerful, electric acidity that gives the wine remarkable energy and tension. Rich notes of ripe fruit, honey, and mineral nuances build in waves, creating a layered and deeply expressive Champagne. The finish is long, intense, and impeccably balanced, and the wine has outstanding aging potential, continuing to evolve beautifully for many years in bottle.
