Description
The 168th edition of Krug Grande Cuvée, here in magnum format, once again highlights the unique expertise of the Krug house.
Since 1843, Krug Grande Cuvée has embodied the champagne that the house's founder, Joseph Krug, wanted to offer his customers so that they could enjoy the best that Champagne has to offer every year, regardless of the vagaries of the weather.
This 168th edition blends 198 different wines from the Krug vineyard, with vintages ranging from 1996 to 2012.
The 2012 vintage, which makes up the majority of this Grande Cuvée, is one of the finest in recent years, offering grapes that are both very ripe and very well balanced.
The 168th edition is a blend of 52% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 13% Pinot Meunier. True to the Krug style, all the wines were vinified and aged in oak barrels.
After bottling, the 168th edition of La Grande Cuvée spent seven years in the cellars of the Reims house before being released on the market.
The 168th edition of La Grande Cuvée has a golden color with delicate highlights and is dotted with lively, fine bubbles.
This champagne reveals a nose with notes of citrus, almond paste, and ginger.
On the second nose, notes of dried fruit stand out.
The 168th edition of La Grande Cuvée Krug pairs beautifully with gourmet cuisine.
