The Story

Krug is the ultimate luxury champagne. All of the wines are barrel fermented adding complexity and depth. The Grand Cuveé is a blend of wines going back 20 years that retains the bold, distinctive house style with every new release. Krug Grand Cuvée clearly never disappoints. This is the 170th Edition.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is yellow and medium. On the nose it is intense, wide, open, complex, seductive, refined, charming and fresh. The taste is fresh, focused,robust, firm, refined, and dry, and high in acidity, full-bodied, with perfectly balanced, multi-dimensional, well-structured, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has toasty, white fruits, bread, citrus, apricot, mineral, mint and nutty flavours. The finish is endless, extensive, flavorful, vibrant and lingering. This wine is impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
