Krug Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne

Description

Because it's been blended from 10 different vintages and 47 different wines from 25 crus, Krug is a super multi-vintage of its own kind. The extremely tough acidity, together with the heavy, rich Krug aromas, are unique. This bottle had a fabulously complex nose and palate, dominated by nuts and honey. The aftertaste was acidic, long and majestic, like a great symphony. Drinking window: 2014-2030. Part of How does English sparkling wine compare to Champagne? The non-vintages. Score - 95.

Tasting Notes

This mouthwatering Champagne shows a lovely sense of finesse, with firm acidity deftly married to a rich profile of crème de cassis, toasted brioche and lime blossom, accented by hints of café au lait, singed orange peel and exotic spice. Long and plush on the finish. Disgorged 2014. Drink now through 2024. Score - 95. (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Oct. 31, 2016)
