Krug, Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition Brut, Bottle 750 ml

Obtained by the House of Krug in the Champagne region, the Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is a Champagne Brut that embodies the essence of the Krug philosophy, combining craftsmanship and savoir-faire. This blend includes 146 wines from 11 different vintages, with the oldest being in 1998 and the most recent in 2016, and maturing on the lees for at least seven years. The final composition is 44% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. In the glass, it presents itself with a pale golden hue and a fine and lively perlage. On the nose, it expresses aromas of freshly bloomed flowers, ripe and dried fruit, marzipan and gingerbread. In the mouth, hints of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, fruit jelly, citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey emerge. Its complexity and richness make it ideal to accompany a wide range of dishes, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, such as aged Parmesan cheese, turbot with truffles, oysters, grilled scampi and desserts such as tarte tatin.
