Since 1843, Krug has maintained this ambition with each new edition of Krug Grande Cuvée. This exclusive Champagne is recreated annually, transcending the limitations of a single vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The edition number indicates how many times the Grande Cuvée has been recreated. For example, the Grande Cuvée 168ème Édition is a blend of 198 wines from 11 different years, the youngest being from 2012 and the oldest from 1996. This art of blending wines from different years gives Krug Grande Cuvée its unique depth of flavor and aroma, which cannot be achieved with wines from a single year. The blend always includes Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier, but the proportions vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe wine matures for around seven years in Krug's cellars, giving it its characteristic elegance and expression. The Grande Cuvée has a brilliant golden colour and fine, lively bubbles. The nose offers flowers, ripe and dried citrus fruits, marzipan and gingerbread. The taste presents notes of hazelnut, nougat, jelly, citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Krug is one of the world's most prestigious Champagne houses, located in the Champagne region of northeastern France. Founded in 1843 by Johann-Joseph Krug, the house has stuck to his philosophy of not ranking Champagne. Krug offers seven different Champagnes, each with their own unique character, but without hierarchical division. The price depends on the number of Champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Krug is known for its unique character and great personality. As cellar master Julie Cavil puts it: “Our task is, in a single sip, to recreate the most complete sensory experience a Champagne can offer.” Krug manages to achieve this time and time again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Krug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47862696935770,"sku":"X4J7B9K2M3Q8W5E","price":299.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/5435\/0170\/files\/krug-grande-cuvee-171th-edition-champagne-597095.jpg?v=1779432673","url":"https:\/\/dh-wines.com\/products\/krug-grande-cuvee-171th-edition-champagne","provider":"DH Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
