Krug Collection 1988 is a later presentation of the maison’s 1988 vintage Champagne. The Collection name distinguishes it from an ordinary vintage release.
About This Champagne
Krug holds back selected bottles of vintage Champagne in its cellars. The wine develops further before the cellar team presents it as Collection. The label does not itself prove an individual bottle’s disgorgement date.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dried citrus and toasted nuts.
- Palate: Mature fruit and patisserie over a soft mousse.
- Finish: Savoury depth with lingering freshness.
Serving & Food
Pour gently chilled in a white-wine stem. Roast turbot with brown butter lets mature Champagne meet a rich but delicate dish.
How to Enjoy
Allow time in the glass for the older wine to unfold at dinner.

About the Maison
Maison Krug was founded in Reims by Joseph Krug in 1843. It holds a limited number of vintage bottles in its cellars for later presentation under the Collection name, allowing another stage of development. This practice differs from producing a new vintage blend: Collection remains linked to the harvest on the original vintage label.
