The Champagne region experienced a very good vintage in 1979, resulting in wines marked by impressive balance and longevity. And this Krug is no exception. The nose reveals roasted chestnuts, brioche, caramel and crème Chantilly, followed by stone fruits and some floral scents. The palate unfolds in layers of preserved lemons, ripe apples and more stone fruits. Plenty of acidity and minerality lead to a seemingly endless finish.
