Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition

Appearance: At first sight, intense yellow gold. A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure.

Aroma: An elegant and aromatic nose of white flowers, lavender and almond holds the promise of finesse upon the first sip.

Palate: The palate is delicate and intense, long, fresh and persistent. White fruits dominate over yellow and are complemented by citrus through Krug Grande Cuvée’s characteristic lemony notes. Gentle nuances of white flowers and violet caress the palate, giving way to hints of eucalyptus and menthol.

As Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is particularly floral, it is in perfect harmony with recipes created with flowers, as well as a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, from an aged parmesan to turbot à la truffe. It 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.

Reims, Champagne France. The house was established in Reims in 1843, by Joseph Krug, a visionary non-conformist with an uncompromising philosophy. Having understood that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself, his dream was to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of the annual climate variations. Paying close attention to the vineyard's character, respecting the individuality of each ply and it's wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years, allowed Jospeh Krug to fulfil his dream.
