Krug Grand Cuvee Champagne (1500ml)

This is Krug‘s signature champagne - a blend of forty to fifty base wines from as many as six to ten different vintages. Henri Krug maintains that this wine is the most difficult to make, since each year it should smell and taste the same as any of the previous releases. The concept is that someone ordering a bottle of Krug Grand Cuvee anywhere in the World, in any particular year should have precisely the same exceptional experience. Deep straw colour with pale gold overtones. Very fine persistent bead. The nose has that classic Krug juxtaposition of power and elegance. Very pronounced nose, with complex aromas of yeast autoylsis, arrowroot biscuit and hazelnut. The palate displays sublime elegance, with great length and persistence. The biscuit yeast flavours are over-laid by nuances of roast almond and just the faintest hint of grapefruit. Perfect balance, with exceptionally long aftertaste. Drink it whenever you can afford it.
