KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE 172TH EDITION GIFT BOX 750ML

PRODUCT DETAILS

An incredible assemblage of 198 wines from 11 different years, Krug Grande Cuvee 168eme Edition is composed around the 2012 harvest, when the grapes were structured and beautifully balanced. Blending so many different wines from different years lends a fullness of flavours and aromas that would be impossible to express with the wines of a single year. As the maison describes it, it is a complete orchestra playing together in harmony.
For Cellar Master Eric Lebel, “Every Edition is different, formed of a unique blend of wines, yet they all bear a family resemblance, an expression and elegance that are distinctly Krug.

BLEND AND ORIGIN

This champagne comprises 198 wines from 11 different years, composed around the harvest of 2012. Atypical weather that year led to early flowering, but the grapes were healthy and well-structured. A blend of pinot noir (52%), chardonnay (35%) and meunier (13%)  Eand 42% reserve wines – this champagne was cellared for around seven years to develop elegance and complexity.
