Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvee 172nd Edition W/ Gift Box
Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvee 172nd Edition W/ Gift Box
Krug Grande Cuvée 172nd Edition is the prestige non-vintage Brut from the House of Krug in Champagne, assembled from a blend of more than 120 wines spanning more than a decade. Each Edition of Grande Cuvée is numbered to mark the specific harvest and blend behind it, allowing collectors to follow the house style year by year. This bottle comes presented in a gift box.
In the glass it shows a light golden hue with fine, lively bubbles. The nose opens with blooming flowers, ripe and dried fruits and zesty citrus, layered with marzipan, gingerbread and toasted brioche. The palate is rich yet refined, with almond paste, quince, lemon and dried fruit carried by bright freshness into a long, nutty finish.
A benchmark for multi-vintage Champagne, the 172nd Edition rewards a large tulip glass and a slightly warmer serve than most sparkling wines, and it pairs naturally with shellfish, lobster and aged cheeses. Its numbered Edition and gift box make it a natural choice for collectors and milestone celebrations.
