Merchant's description
Krug Vintage 1962 is a mature vintage Champagne from a classic, high-acid vintage. Composed of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, this bottling has undergone decades of post-disgorgement ageing, resulting in a profile of extraordinary complexity and autolytic depth. This is a profound, cerebral Champagne that has moved into a purely vinous and tertiary phase, finishing with immense length and a lingering note of toasted brioche and sea salt.
