Krug Grande Cuvee in a magnum, 1.5 litre format. A gleaming gold colour, an extravagantly expansive bouquet, with an almost creamy texture. Then, an explosion of flavours, at once mellow and mature, crisp and clean. Toast, soft spices, dried and candied fruit. Krug Grande Cuvée is the timelessly stylish signature of Krug, a breathtaking champagne that effortlessly balances richness and freshness, power and finesse. Out of contrast, harmony - a sensational taste experience.
Background: This is the supreme demonstration of the Krug art of blending. No recipe can define its intricate harmony, so every year the Krug family works from taste and memory alone to recreate this most complex of champagnes. Typically blended from as many as 50 wines from three grape varieties, 20 to 25 growths, and six to ten different years. Krug Grande Cuvee is the ultimate expression of the Krug style. So much so that all other Krugs may be said to have something of the Grande Cuvée in them. Krug Rosé for example takes the spicy notes of the Grande Cuvee to a new peak, while Krug Clos du Mesnil is more mineral. According to Remi Krug: "If Johann-Joseph Krug tasted today's Grande Cuvee, he would no doubt say that it was exactly what he dreamt of when he founded Krug in 1843".
The bottle comes presented in a burgundy Krug magnum-size branded box. |
