Wine Spectator 98 points - A very youthful '95. Delicate. Intense aromas of ginger, citrus, candied berry and multigrain bread turn to honey, roasted almonds and graphite on the palate. It's all underscored by a precise structure and creamy texture. Its structure keeps it persistent through the long finish. A picture of precision and intensity. Drink now through 2025. Score: 98. —Bruce Sanderson, July 31, 2006.

Krug only produces a Vintage when a crop has exceptional characteristics and sufficiently interesting features. To create exceptional vintages, the Krug family selects those wines that best express the ”voice” of the chosen year.
| Food pairing |
| Perfect accompianiments to rich creamy dishes like turbo in hollandaise and sea bass in white butter or poultry in cream sauces. Also great with thick creamy dessert. Almonds and vanilla are a bold match. |
| Producer |
| Since 1843, six generations of the Krug family have cultivated the markedly individual character of their exceptional champagne, showing that same single-mindedness and sense of purpose with which the founder, Johann-Joseph Krug, set out alone in pursuit of his objective of creating a champagne with a taste all its own. |
