Parker über: Champagne Vintage

-- Parker: The 1996 Vintage explodes from the glass with heady aromas that lead to a richly-textured expression of fruit. There is superb depth and richness, as endless layers of candied apricots, quince, pears, spices and toasted nuts continue to emerge from the glass. Later on, notes of almonds and lemon peel make an appearance, adding further complexity. This powerful, remarkably complete Champagne offers tremendous balance and the potential to continue to develop in bottle for two decades, if not considerably longer. Those fortunate enough to own this wine should be thrilled! 98/100

Heiner Lobenberg über:
Champagne Vintage 1996

Lobenberg: Einer der besten jemals probierten jungen Champagner, an Länge wohl kaum zu schlagen. Hat alles, was man von einem großen Champagner erwartet und zeigt dies auch. Ein Meisterwerk an Präzision und Intensität. 96-98/100

Wine Spectator über: Champagne Vintage

-- Wine Spectator: A powerful, majestic Champagne. Deep and compelling, with aromas of whole-grain toast, coconut and dried citrus that draw you in. Lean and racy on the palat, with a creaminess that's yet to be integrated. A classic '96, with ripe, exotic aromas and a steely structure. Still a baby, with the long, resonant finish confirming its potential. 99/100

Mein Winzer

Krug

Wie kaum ein anderes Haus steht Krug Champagner für die qualitative Speerspitze der Region. Reine Handarbeit, sehr geringe Mengen, immer extrem rar. Absolut großartiger Stoff, den diese renommierte, boutique-artige Manufaktur in Reims produziert.
