Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée 172nd Edition, presented in an elegant gift box, is a masterpiece crafted from the exceptional 2016 harvest, combined with reserve wines spanning a decade. Originating from the prestigious Champagne region of France, this cuvée is a blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay, and 20% Meunier. The tumultuous weather of 2016 lent character to the vintage, and the addition of reserve wines (42% of the blend) ensured the complexity and harmony that define this iconic champagne.
On the palate, Krug Grande Cuvée is a sensory delight. Its light golden hue and fine, vivacious bubbles introduce a bouquet of floral aromas, ripe citrus, marzipan, and gingerbread. Each sip reveals a symphony of flavors, including hazelnut, nougat, citrus fruits, almonds, and a touch of honey, all balanced with a smooth, round finish. This champagne epitomizes sophistication, offering a full-bodied experience that resonates with Krug’s commitment to craftsmanship.
Perfect for both casual indulgence and grand occasions, this champagne pairs beautifully with an array of dishes. Whether enjoyed with aged parmesan, oysters, grilled shrimp, or Moroccan cuisine, its versatility shines.
