Krug Grande Cuvee 169th Edition in Gift Box (1.5L Magnum)
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 169ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2013, a year that beautifully expressed the unique characters of some of the House’s iconic plots. The season began with a seemingly endless winter followed by a rainy and cool spring. Luckily, summer was hot and sunny, although also marked by hailstorms, which took their toll in the vineyards. The wines of the year were generous, expressive and full of flavors.
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: Grilled notes and flavours of almond paste, quince, lemon, limoncello and dried fruit
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. 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.
