Regarding the Champagne Krug Grande Cuvée (171th Edition)
This absolutely exceptional champagne "Krug Grande Cuvée 171st Edition" is the result of a blend of 131 wines, from 12 different years, around the 2015 harvest. The bottles were then aged for 7 years in the cellar.
This bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée is composed of 45% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 18% Meunier. The reserve wines of the House constitute 42% of the final blend.
This is a champagne with the fullness and roundness that is typical and essential to each Krug Grande Cuvée Edition. The nose reveals aromas of marzipan, gingerbread, and ripe citrus. The palate is expressive and elegant with notes of hazelnut, nougat, fruit and citrus jelly. It is pastry-like with almond, brioche and honey. Very nice finish on candied fruits that stretches out in length.
Once you have your bottle in hand, you can go further and reveal the history of each Krug bottle thanks to the Krug iD that appears on the back label of each bottle.
You can taste your 171st Krug Grande Cuvée on its own, for a memorable sensory journey or with an aperitif with Jabugo ham and mature Comté cheese. You can also serve it with oysters, shrimps, as well as desserts such as a tatin pie.
