On the nose it is exotic and complex, with notes of white fruits, truffles, spices, honey, lightly browned apples and a hint of intense flowers, complemented by a light nutty aroma in the background. Long, fresh and elegant in the mouth, it multiplies the sensations: orange blossom, dried figs, ripe quinces and delicate spices such as cinnamon and ginger. The delicacy and elegance of Krug 1988 provides a delicious contrast to rich, creamy dishes such as turbot with hollandaise sauce, sea bass with beurre blanc, chicken in cream sauce and desserts with dried fruit and almonds. Vanilla dishes also go well with this Champagne.
