Krug 1998 offers astonishing purity precision elegance and a very long finish. For the House of Krug a focus on Chardonnay for Krug’s 1998 vintage was an obvious choice due to the outstanding personality of Chardonnay grapes of that year. This vintage is known as our Hommage au Chardonnay as it is only the second Krug vintage after 1981 where Chardonnay dominates. It has an extremely high ageing potential.

The 1998 Krug exhibits expressive aromas of bread hazelnuts dried fruit caramelised orange peel then cocoa as it warms up and finally pepper and gingerbread."

Wine Spectator: 98 Points

This harmonious Champagne offers luxurious texture and powerful focused acidity showing aromatic accents of spring blossom crushed thyme and chai with rich notes of lemon meringue hazelnut black currant and fresh porcini mushroom. The full package. Impressive. Drink now through 2028.

Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points

"Although the aromas are toasty the flavors are still so fresh rich complex. This is a wonderful expression of taut minerality pure citrus zest and then a wood-toast character that gives the wine both richness and sophistication. Given the fresh intense fruit this will certainly age for many years."

Vinous: 95 Points

"Krug's 1998 Brut Vintage is an excellent choice for drinking today as the classic Krug style is rich alive and totally vivid. Honey almonds smoke graphite and dried apricots are some of the many aromas and flavors found in this rich enveloping Champagne. A wine of texture and depth the 1998 impresses for its vinous personality and terrific balance. Lively veins of underlying acidity suggest the 1998 will drink well for many years to follow. This is one of the best bottles of the 1998 I have ever tasted."
