Description
A Legendary Expression of Krug from the Pre-ID Era Available from Southwest Spirits, this is an exceptional "older bottling" of Krug Grande Cuvée. Before Krug introduced the digital tracking system in 2011, their labels were iconic for their understated elegance. Based on the design features of this bottle—specifically the label color and neck foil patterns—this bottling dates to the late 1980s or 1990s.
Why Collectors Prize Older Krug Bottlings:
Historic Blending: Krug Grande Cuvée is a blend of over 120 wines from 10+ different years. Bottles from this era often feature a "base" wine from legendary vintages of the 1980s.
Exceptional Ageing: Krug is renowned for its longevity. A bottle from this period will have moved past primary fruit into deep, tertiary notes of toasted brioche, honeyed hazelnuts, and dried citrus peel.
The "Gold Label" Era: This bottle features the classic gold-toned label that preceded the modern beige/matte-yellow designs.
Provenance & Condition: The bottle is in pristine condition with the original foil and labels intact. The fill level (ullage) is excellent, and it has been stored in a temperature-controlled, dark cellar to preserve its delicate effervecence and profile.
