Gault&Millau's review
2021
99/100
We taste this 1988 again, now classified as a collection wine; we loved it in 2017. A few years later, we find intact its old gold color, its notes of truffle, fruit paste, honey and dried fruit. On the palate, time has done its work and the honeyed notes of the attack give way to incredible freshness, with superb notes of exotic fruit and pink grapefruit skin. Gourmet backbone and freshness. Grandiose!

Krug
True to its family spirit, thanks to the key role played by Olivier Krug, even though it has been part of the LVMH group since 1999, this house is one of the most prestigious in the region. Around 30% of supplies come from its own vineyards, including two highly prized clos: Clos du Mesnil for a blanc de blancs and Clos d'Ambonnay for a blanc de noirs. Yet it is the "Grande Cuvée" that best embodies the famous Krug style. Produced with grapes from more than ten harvests and aged for a long time in bottle, each year the blend recomposes wines from several terroirs (more than 120) aged separately. Julie Cavil is the house cellar master.
