Regarding the Champagne Krug Grande Cuvée (174eme Edition)
A true hallmark of the House of Krug, the Grande Cuvée 174th Edition is the most accomplished expression of prestige champagne. It is crafted from an exceptional blend of 143 wines from 10 different vintages centered around the 2018 harvest. Itelegantly blends 54% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay, and 17% Meunier. Every sip embodies more than 20 years of expertise and meticulous craftsmanship.
Its golden hue illuminates the glass. The nose captivates with toasted and smoky aromas, enhanced by notes of candied citrus. On the palate, the generous texture reveals a perfect harmony between aromas of candied fruit, chocolate, and citrus, culminating in an elegant finish with a hint of bitterness. A masterfully balanced dosage highlights its full complexity.
Versatile and refined, Krug Grande Cuvée 174th Edition Champagne pairs brilliantly with an exclusive aperitif or gourmet dishes such as turbot with truffles. It also pairs well with a mature Comté cheese or, for dessert, with a tarte Tatin. Served between 9 and 12 °C, it reveals its full richness.
Whether enjoyed today for its vibrant freshness or cellared for several years to appreciate its evolution, Krug Grande Cuvée 174th Edition stands out as a rare and timeless collector’s champagne.
