Krug Collection 1989 Magnum

Krug Collection 1989 Magnum is a rare collector’s Champagne, drawn from a tiny number of bottles carefully matured in Krug’s cellars and released only when the wine has reached a new stage of expression. From the storied House of Krug in Champagne, it showcases the kind of depth, complexity, and time-earned character that makes Krug Collection so sought after.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the refined golden hue expected of a mature Champagne, with a persistent, elegant mousse. The bouquet is layered and expressive, moving from dried citrus, toasted brioche, and nuts to deeper notes of honey, spice, pastry, and subtle oxidative complexity. The palate is expansive and beautifully textured, with striking balance between freshness and maturity. Flavors of baked apple, lemon zest, hazelnut, and brioche unfold with remarkable length, finishing with finesse and authority. This is a Champagne built for contemplation and will continue to hold its complexity well, though it is already offering the rewards of long aging.

Production
Krug Collection comes from bottles of Krug Vintage that have been kept under ideal cellar conditions for many years before being re-evaluated and released at optimal maturity. The 1989 vintage blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier reflects Champagne’s terroir-driven diversity, with grapes selected to express both structure and aromatic precision. Extended aging in Krug’s cellars allows the wine to develop the layered complexity and time-sublimated character that define the Collection release.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, truffle risotto, roast chicken with morels, or aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and if possible, allow the magnum to rest briefly after opening. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a careful splash into large white wine glasses can help open the aromatics for particularly mature bottles.
