Tasting Notes

Colore dorato, perlage fine e persistente. Stupefacenti i sentori olfattivi, composti da profumi che ricordano gli agrumi, il pan di zenzero, i fiori appena sbocciati e la frutta matura. Si potrebbe continuare la lista all’infinito, elencando anche
sapori di pasta di mandole, mela cotogna, limone, limoncello e frutta secca.

Pairings

Ottimo in abbinamento a preparazioni ricercate, raffinate e sfiziose come il rombo al tartufo.
Può essere scelto come aperitivo, accompagnato da prosciutto di Jabugo e Comté stagionato oppure in abbinamento a ostriche, scampi grigliati, pietanze indiane o marocchine, nonché dolci come carrot cake, tarte tatin o cheese cake.

Champagne Brut "Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition" - Krug (coffret): Why we like it

Lo Champagne Brut “Grande Cuvée” Krug è l’archetipo della filosofia Krug, e racchiude il know-how e il savoir faire di una grande maison. Assemblaggio 131 vini di 12 diverse annate, il più giovane dei quali risale al 2015 mentre il più vecchio al 2000, uniti per creare una cuvée di eccezionale finezza, che riposa sui lieviti per ben sette anni. In totale, sono necessari oltre venti anni per produrre lo Champagne Brut “Grande Cuvée” Krug. Superbo fin da adesso, è inimmaginabile quanto splendidamente potrà invecchiare.

Brand

The unconventional origins of Maison Krug

It all began in 1834, when the young Joseph Krug, a forward-thinking non-conformist who had just arrived in France from his native Germany, began working in the Jacquesson cellars.

This experience gave him a clear understanding of Champagne within a few years and led him, in 1843 to be precise, to found his own Maison with the aim of producing Champagnes that would stand out not only for their absolute quality, but also for their well-defined and recognisable personality.

The philosophy of the maison

This is the story of a man who was determined like few others, guided by a philosophy that allowed no compromise, and who was the first to understand that the essence of Champagne is, first and foremost, pleasure itself.

Joseph Krug wanted to offer his customers the utmost pleasure every year, regardless of the climatic differences that each season and each harvest brought with them.

The Krug style is immediately apparent thanks to careful maturation in large oak barrels and prolonged contact with yeasts.

A style that has been handed down from father to son for centuries and remains wonderfully unchanged today.

Since 1999, the Maison has been part of the LVMH luxury group, but the approach remains the same as it was in the beginning, unconventional and aimed at enhancing the individuality of each single vineyard plot in prestige cuvées that are renewed year after year in the spirit of continuity.

Krug Champagnes

So, in addition to Krug Rosé and the Millesimati, there is Krug Brut “Grande Cuvée”, to mention the Maison's icon, a Champagne that comes from 250 different vineyards and brings together no less than 150 reserve wines, some of which are aged for up to 15 years.

Meticulous savoir-faire leads to the creation and online sale of unique Champagnes, extraordinary cuvées now available in the largest selection of wines online in Italy.
