Krug – Grande Cuvee 170th Anniversary Edition – Brut Champagne

Overview:Every year since the foundation of the House of Krug, a new dition of Krug Grande Cuv??e is created to offer the most generous expression of Champagne.

This bottle belongs to the 170??me dition of Krug Grande Cuv??e, a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years. The youngest is from the year 2014 and the oldest dates back to 1998. A stay of around seven years in Krug??s cellars gives this dition its remarkable expression and elegance. Every glass poured from it is the fruit of more than 20 years of careful craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes:A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. Flavours of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.

Pairing: Krug Grande Cuv??e lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, from an aged parmesan to turbot ?? la truffe. This Champagne can be enjoyed as an aperitif with Jabugo ham and mature comt?? or served to accompany oysters, grilled shrimps, Indian or Moroccan food, as well as desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheesecake.
