, Pinot Noir , Pinot Meunier Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of Joseph Krug to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of annual variations in climate.
Each year, Maison Krug honours his vision with a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of Champagne.
Beyond the notion of vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée is always a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years, expressing a fullness of flavours and aromas impossible to achieve with the wines of a single year.
It is a blend of 146 wines from 11 different years, the youngest of which is from 2016, while the oldest dates back to 1998. ▪ Its final composition is 44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. ▪ A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition its distinct expression and elegance.
Aged parmesan, ham and mature comté or served to accompany oysters, grilled shrimps, Indian or Moroccan food, as well as desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheesecake.
At first sight, intense yellow gold. An elegant and aromatic nose of white flowers, lavender and almond holds the promise of finesse upon the first sip.
The palate is delicate and intense, long, fresh and persistent. White fruits dominate over yellow and are complemented by citrus through Krug Grande Cuvée’s characteristic lemony notes. Gentle nuances of white flowers and violet caress the palate, giving way to hints of eucalyptus and menthol.
