Krug 1998 300CL

Krug 1998 is a remarkable expression of a single vintage, crafted to capture the character of an exceptional year with Krug’s signature depth and precision. Presented here in impressive Jeroboam format (300cl), it offers an especially generous way to experience one of the maison’s most distinctive releases. Known as a tribute to Chardonnay, this vintage stands out for its purity, elegance, and remarkable length.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Krug 1998 shows a deep, bright golden colour that signals both freshness and maturity. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of bread, hazelnuts, dried fruit, caramelised orange peel, and, as it opens, hints of cocoa, pepper, and gingerbread. The palate is rich yet precise, with crystalline citrus, caramelised orange peel, dried fruit, spice, and a soft, creamy texture. The finish is exceptionally long and refined, reflecting both the concentration of the vintage and the extended ageing in Krug’s cellars. While already beautifully expressive, it has the structure and complexity to continue evolving gracefully over time.

Viininvalmistus
Krug Vintage is built from the most expressive wines of a single year and then matured for more than a decade in the house’s cellars before release. For 1998, the blend was notably Chardonnay-led, a deliberate choice that highlights the variety’s exceptional personality in this vintage. As with all Krug champagnes, the final cuvée brings together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, with the proportions adjusted to suit the character of the year.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This vintage pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast poultry, truffle pasta, or aged hard cheeses. It should be served well chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to showcase its freshness and complexity. Decanting is generally not necessary, though allowing it a little time in the glass can help reveal its full aromatic depth.
