Tasting notes for the Champagne Krug Vintage 1982

EYE: The Krug Vintage 1982 presents itself in a golden, shimmering, and luminous robe. Its fine, lively bubbles elegantly ascend in the flute, creating a hypnotic ballet. The effervescence is both vibrant and delicate, a testament to its slow maturation in the cellar.
NOSE: As you bring your nose closer to the glass, an olfactory symphony unfolds. The aromas are rich and complex, with hints of baked apple, toasted hazelnut, and acacia honey. A subtle touch of buttered brioche mingles with wafts of white flowers, creating an enchanting bouquet.
MOUTH: The first sip is a revelation. The texture is silky, almost creamy, enveloping the palate with velvety softness. Flavors cascade forth: candied apricot, fresh almond, and a hint of orange zest. The acidity is perfectly balanced, providing freshness that lingers throughout the tasting.

In short: The Krug Vintage 1982 Brut is an exceptional champagne that will offer you an unforgettable experience. While it can still be cellared for a few more years, it is currently at its peak. To accompany this gem, consider indulging in grilled lobster with lemon butter, seared foie gras with figs, citrus-infused salmon tartare, creamy Bresse chicken, or even a classic apple Tarte Tatin.

Maison Krug

The purest quality of Champagne

The Champagne House Krug is now a venerable old lady, born in 1843 in Reims. Its founder, Johann-Joseph Krug (a German citizen from Mainz, which used to be controlled by France), spent 8 years working for the Maison Jacquesson before going his own way. Thanks to his partner Hippolyte de Vivès, and his will to create the best Champagne in the world (and the physical incarnation of pleasure), Joseph quickly succeeded in turning his new brand into an international powerhouse.

When he died in 1866, his son Paul rose up to the task of managing the family business, since he had been trained by Joseph. Like father like son, Paul Krug also aimed to unlock the hidden potential of all his wines and to reinforce the character of each parcel of his vineyard. His hard work truly paid off during the 1880's, when the popularity of the Champagne House Krug skyrocketed.

Since then, many members of the Krug family have helped the estate grow: Joseph Krug II, grandson of Johann-Joseph, in 1910; his son Paul Krug II, during the 1930's; Rémi and Henri Krug, in 1962. Finally, the Krug brand was bought in 1999 by the LVMH Group, which specializes in luxury goods. However, the estate remains in the family, with Olivier Krug (its proud sixth-generation representative) acting as the current director.
