TASTING NOTES

The robe is golden with amber highlights, threaded through with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens on an elegant bouquet of spring flowers, candied citrus, marzipan and pain d'épices. On the palate, a bright lemon tension and notes of limoncello find their balance in a luscious richness of toasted almond and dried fruits, leading to a long, honeyed finish of remarkable precision.

The composition

About this house

Founded in 1843 in Reims by Joseph Krug, a native of Mainz, Maison Krug enshrined the refusal of compromise as its founding philosophy. Joseph dreamt of a Champagne that would rise above the whims of any single vintage: each year, a new Edition of the Grande Cuvée is composed from more than a hundred carefully selected wines — a significant proportion of which are reserve wines maturing in the Maison's library — before a minimum of seven years on lees.

To this day, Krug vinifies each plot separately, preserving the singularity of every terroir before the final assemblage. Now a member of the LVMH family since 1999, the Maison remains guided by that original vision: no other cuvée in Champagne demands such complexity of elaboration, nor achieves such depth of style.
