Krug 171 Edition Grande Cuvee
| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nDeep golden colored and fine, vivacious bubbles, predicting fullness and elegance. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe & dried fruit, marzipan, gingerbread and citrus fruits. Flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.\r\nKrug Grande Cuvee lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from an extra-mature parmesan to turbot a la truffe. It can be enjoyed with ham, oysters, shrimp, Indian or Morroccan food, as well as with desserts like carrot cake and cheese cake.\r\nRobert Parker 96 Points\r\nAbout Krug\r\nThe 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,\u00a0his dream was to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate.\u00a0Paying close attention to the vineyard\u2019s character, respecting the individuality of each plot and its wine, as well as building an extensive library of reserve wines from many different years allowed Joseph Krug to fulfil his dream.\r\nWith a very original approach to Champagne making, he decided to go beyond the notion of vintage to create the most generous expression of Champagne, every year. Thus, he founded a House in which all Champagnes are of the same level of distinction.\r\nSix generations of the Krug family have perpetuated this dream, enriching the founder\u2019s vision and savoir faire. |
