Krug Grande Cuvée 169 edition

Champagne - Champagne - Brut -

Krug Grande Cuvée 169th edition with box is an emblematic champagne of the Krug house!

Since 1843, it has honored the dream of Joseph Krug, its founder. A passionate and perfectionist man who sought to offer his customers a champagne of great richness and fine elegance; a perfect champagne, regardless of the vagaries of the weather. Thus, every year, the house pays tribute to its founder with a new edition of Krug Grande Cuvée, the most generous expression of Krug Champagne.

This 169th edition is created from the 2012 harvest, a beautiful year with low yields, due to the variety of climatic events that occurred in the region. Made from a blend of 52% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 13% Meunier. Special attention to the vines and respect for the unique character of each parcel have magnified the full expression of this Edition.

Tasting note:

The robe: A light gold color and fine, lively bubbles.
Fine and lively bubbles, a promise of pleasure.
The nose : Aromas of blossoming flowers, ripe and dried fruits and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread
The Palate : Flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied fruits and citrus fruits, almond, brioche and honey.

The advice of 12bouteilles: 

We advise you to serve Krug Champagnes at a temperature between 9 and 12°C to fully reveal their richness. This great wine can match with a multitude of dishes, the house recommends to enjoy it on a turbot with truffle, grilled shrimp, a jabugo of bellota, mashed artichoke. It can be tasted now, or kept in the cellar, away from the light.
