The Grande Cuvée is the flagship Champagne of this illustrious house and is a blend of more than 120 different wines from more than 10 different years. Krug Grande Cuvée was conceived by the house`s founder, Joseph Krug, who since 1843 set out to produce a fine Champagne which would retain its consistently high quality irrespective of variations of vintage. Krug has honoured its founder`s with each new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée. \"The 172ème édition, based around the 2016 vintage, is a delicate, floral and saline Grande Cuvée at this early stage in its life. The palate it taut, tightly wound, gradually unfurling into toasted fruit bread, rye bread and roasted nuts, wrapped around an intricate and taut lemon core. It`s exceptionally long, spicy, rounded and spherical in shape. Notes of sweet unsalted butter round out the finish, which has such length, elegance and balance. 58% of the wine is from the 2016 vintage, which saw a lot of rain in the spring and close to flowering, with 42% from reserve wines. The blend is made up of 146 separately vinified wines from 11 different years, and the oldest wine in the blend is from the 1998 vintage.\" Decanter, 2024","brand":"Krug","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62415464300874,"sku":"HED99050","price":235.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED99050.jpg?v=1785280043","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/krug-grande-cuvee-edition-172-nv","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
