Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 171 is a Champagne that embodies the art of blending to perfection. Every year the house of Krug creates a new edition of the Grande Cuvée, composed of an exceptional blend of wines from multiple vintages to achieve a timeless and unrivalled expression of Champagne. The colour is a brilliant golden yellow, with a lively, fine mousse that dances elegantly in the glass. The aromatic palette is deep and layered. Rich notes of ripe citrus, candied fruit, roasted hazelnuts and almonds mingle with nuances of brioche, honey and a subtle spiciness. Bottle ageing contributes an elegant oxidative touch and a refined complexity. On the palate the Champagne is full and powerful, with a silky texture and a sublime balance between freshness and ripeness. Notes of apple, pear, citrus zest, honey and light spices are complemented by a beautiful minerality and a creamy mousse. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, with a refined touch of toast and a delicate saline nuance. This Champagne is a true experience and an absolute benchmark in the world of prestige Champagnes.
A perfect match for rich dishes such as scallops with butter and truffle, grilled lobster, poultry in creamy sauces or aged cheeses such as Comté and Parmesan.
