Krug Champagne Grand Cuvee 169th Edition Champagne NV
Krug believes in pairing all food with Champagne and we couldn’t agree more. Whether it’s dry or sweet, Champagne will do the trick. This 169th Edition is a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. It was bottled in 2014 and aged for seven years in Krug's cellar in Reims. “Instantly recognizable aromatic depth and complexity here. The DNA of Grande Cuvée looms large on the nose with fresh-baked brioche, crushed almond, subtle baking spices and stony notes, as well as an array of stone fruit. The palate delivers a wide spectrum of citrus, from lemon to orange to grapefruit and beyond. The chardonnay really impresses in a long, concentrated mode. 43% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and 22% pinot meunier. It contains 40% reserve wine and is composed of 146 different components from 11 different vintages, the youngest being 2013 and the oldest 2000. Drink or hold." James Suckling
