Krug Grande Cuvee 168th Edition (1.5L Magnum)
$619.99
Every year since the foundation of the House of Krug, a new Edition of Krug Grande Cuvée is created to offer the most generous expression of Champagne.
THE STORY
Krug Grande Cuvée 168th Édition was composed around the harvest of 2012, a beautiful year with a low yield due to a succession of meteorological events. Frost, rain, storms and hail all hit the vineyards of Champagne in winter and spring 2012, followed by the driest ripening season since 1974, resulting in 20% fewer grapes.
TASTING NOTES
On the eye: A light golden color and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure.
On the nose: Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread.
On the palate: Flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.
PAIRING
Krug Grande Cuvée lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, from an aged parmesan to turbot à la truffe. This Champagne can be enjoyed as an aperitif with Jabugo ham and mature comté or served to accompany oysters, grilled shrimps, Indian or Moroccan food, as well as desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheesecake.
