Description

Joseph Krug had a dream, that of being able to give the world every year the best Champagne that his estates could offer, regardless of the climatic trend: Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition is the highest, sublime and faithful manifestation of this warning, a an objective of absolute quality that the Krug maison has been pursuing with inimitable style since 1843. The number of Édition corresponds to the number of times in which the founder of Krug has managed to make his dream come true: with this edition, the maison can proudly celebrate 170 wishes become reality and given to humanity.

Precious blend of 52% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 13% Meunier, this Champagne is a daring and very refined blend of 198 wines, carefully selected from 11 different vintages, in which only the best grapes participate. The rest of the wine for about seven years gives it that elegance which constitutes the stylistic code of the entire maison, but which finds in this label an even more evident fulfillment. Krug Grande Cuvée is the first and only Champagne de Prestige recreated every year, which interprets and goes beyond the concept of Vintage. The art of assembling wines from such different vintages, in which the Krug maison is the most faithful witness, perfectly reproduces that organoleptic profile that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.

The 170th edition of Krug Grande Cuvée is characterized by a limited but precious harvest. The final assembly selected the grapes of the year, combined with reserve wines from another 10 vintages. Thanks to the painstaking care and maniacal attention reserved for the estates, the grapes were able to express themselves in all their splendor, giving this limited edition a prodigious profile.

A golden and shining color, a lively and exuberant perlage are only the prelude to a boundless pleasure. Aromas of freshly blossomed flowers, citrus fruits, ripe and dried fruit, as well as marzipan and gingerbread, envelop the nose as in a fairy tale, while the palate anticipates the already felt olfactory notes to which are added hints of walnut, hazelnut, sugar cane, composed of citrus fruit, almonds, brioche and honey. A simply dreamlike wine, destined to make every occasion special.

Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition is extremely versatile: it can harmoniously marry a seasoned Parmesan cheese as well as a turbot with truffles. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif with a Jabugo ham or a seasoned Comté cheese or as an accompaniment to oysters, or as a complement to a meal, alongside a juicy cheesecake.
