Krug Collection 1990 is an exceptionally elegant champagne that reveals a new dimension of an already legendary vintage, after more than three decades of patient aging in the cellars of the House of Krug. This carefully preserved edition represents the perfect harmony of power, freshness, and complexity, composed of 40% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay, and 23% Meunier, resulting in a rich and rounded wine with a deep golden hue that reflects the sunny character of the year.

The nose captivates with notes of plums, cinnamon, gingerbread, and crème pâtissière, while the palate enchants with its creamy texture and vibrant flavors of brioche, candied and dried citrus fruits, apricot, orange marmalade, and lemon tart, accented by lightly toasted nuts and a touch of honey.

Thanks to its silky nature and remarkable length, it pairs beautifully with dishes such as morel risotto, duck with caramelized beets, truffle-infused delicacies, and desserts like orange tiramisu, baked apples, and aged cheeses. Krug Collection 1990 is more than just champagne – it is time transformed into sophistication, a story of the vintage told through elegance and depth of flavor.
