The Story

To the delight of Krug Lovers around the world, a very limited number of Krug Vintage bottles are kept in ideal conditions in the House’s cellars. They are tasted and appraised as they wait to blossom into a second life. The Cellar Master might then decide that some Krug Vintages reveal a new personality and become Krug Collection. Krug Collection is a tribute to time sublimation: maturity exposes hidden facets, depth and new flavours, while g...

Wine Information

The year 1985 will be remembered for record-breaking frosts in January, rainy and cold June and from July to the end of the cycle climate was sunny with some periods of heat and storms. The result was a harvest of low yields (normal for Chardonnays and very low for Pinot Noirs) with extremely high quality, remarkable for the balance of its wines. 

Henri Krug, president of the house from 1977 to 2002, considered 1985 as the most difficult ye...

Vuosikerta 1985

Severe winter temperatures and spring frosts did great damage, leaving many in the region unhopeful of a good year. The destruction was excessive especially in the northern Montagne de Reims, in the hillside vineyards west of Reims and in the Aube. The early summer weather did not raise the hopes, but finally fine September weather came to the rescue and yields ended up being better than feared (albeit tiny, 6,827 kg/ha) when picking commenced...

What followed was supposed to be theoretically the better bottle, the 1985 Krug Collection. This was a recently released bottle, resting all these years until recently in the cellars. It was milky and yeasty with citrus and bread aromas. The palate had more wood but was flatter and surprisingly softer. There was more vanilla and perfume here, but it was less polished and vigorous than usual - was it bottle variation? Bipin found the Collection ‘more exotic,’ but everyone ultimately preferred the original. I think the Collections will age longer, but a lot depends on the date of disgorgement versus release, too (personally, I think ten years in the bottle is required after disgorgement before a bubbly becomes approachable again) (94?).

Very slight pinkish tinge. Colour deepening. This is already a Collection wine because it has aged faster than the 1982. A more muted nose than the previous wine. Definitely quite mature. Good impact on the throat. Pretty dry and savoury. Relatively lightweight. Quite pretty and certainly mature and serious, developing honey-like characteristics. Softer than the 1982. A tiny bit light.

Krug Collection 1985 has gained depth and beauty, with an astoundingly velvety deep golden colour. Aromas which build in depth include warm bread fresh from the oven, mild spices and even pepper and wax. On the mouth these aromas come together in unctuous, generous opulence with honey and toffee flavours while it highlights delicate, rare flavours of white truffle as well as perfectly ripened figs and even blackcurrant, bursting with sunshine.

-
Krug Collection 1985 Powerful and smokey nose with ripe fruit underneath, apples and stone fruit, spices and mushrooms. Round, rich and supple on the palate with an oily touch to the fruit. Mid-palate delivers stone fruit and apples, apricots, ripe citrus, coconut and minerals. Very drinkable with it’s modest acidity today but feel like it has more to give. Not something to put away forever though. Now-2023 95p

Sisäpiiritietoa

A deeper golden colour but still hints of emerald. Beautifully small bubbles. Lovely mature quality with plenty of truffle and mushroomy notes and just a suggestion of Sherry. There's a touch of chocolate too, and some nutty notes adding layers of interest. Bruised apple fruit and preserved lemon, even a hint of something minty. The mousse is gentle and relatively broad for Krug, with lovely ripe fruit flavours with a certain creaminess. There is such lovely depth here, with endless layers of nutty maturity. It has lost its iron grip perhaps, but still freshness and length." - 94/100, Tom Cannavan
