Wine Information

In 1958 the total area in production in the official wine producing zone was 11,500 hectares. By using a part, and that it was only a part should be emphasized, of the land entitled to the champagne appellation, the area of vineyards was doubled in twenty years with the planting of 12,460 hectares, which, taking into account the effect of the unused plantation rights in 1958, gave a total of 24,252 hectares in production in 1978, the highest l...

Written Notes

Krug Vintage 1959/ The bottle was outwardly in A1 condition. Its colour was lighter than 1959 Drappier's but the bouquet was clearly stronger, more intense and with a subtle perfume to it. The bubbles were small and elegant, so typical of Krug. The nose was superbly giving. Compared to the open nose, the wine felt at first a little reserved on the palate. However, after a short delay it almost exploded in the mouth giving an extremely aromatic and abundant tasting experience. A perfectly cultivated, layered and refined wine!
