Tasting notes for the Champagne Krug "Grande Cuvée" Édition 171 (Gift Box)

  • EYE: Presented in its elegant gift box, this bottle evokes the prestige and excellence of Maison Krug from the very first glance. In the glass, the champagne unfolds its luminous golden robe, enlivened by amber reflections. Its lively effervescence forms a delicate string of persistent bubbles.
  • NOSE: This champagne reveals a fascinating aromatic depth. Aromas of ripe fruits such as pear and baked apple mingle with notes of roasted hazelnuts and brioche bread. Hints of honey and white flowers complete a rich and subtle olfactory bouquet.
  • MOUTH: A silky texture coupled with perfect balance. The attack is lively and fresh, evolving towards a remarkable fullness in the mouth. Flavors of dried fruits, citrus zest, and buttery pastries unfold elegantly, carried by lively acidity and a long, persistent finish.

In short: The Krug "Grande Cuvée" Edition 171 promises an exceptional tasting experience, with a dazzling golden robe, a complex nose, and a harmonious palate. This prestigious champagne can be stored for 5 to 10 years in your cellar to allow it to evolve. It pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, including fresh oysters, herb-roasted chicken, aged Comté cheese, shrimp curry, and caramelized apple tart.

The purest quality of Champagne

 

The Champagne House Krug is now a venerable old lady, born in 1843 in Reims. Its founder, Johann-Joseph Krug (a German citizen from Mainz, which used to be controlled by France), spent 8 years working for the Maison Jacquesson before going his own way. Thanks to his partner Hippolyte de Vivès, and his will to create the best Champagne in the world (and the physical incarnation of pleasure), Joseph quickly succeeded in turning his new brand into an international powerhouse.

When he died in 1866, his son Paul rose up to the task of managing the family business, since he had been trained by Joseph. Like father like son, Paul Krug also aimed to unlock the hidden potential of all his wines and to reinforce the character of each parcel of his vineyard. His hard work truly paid off during the 1880's, when the popularity of the Champagne House Krug skyrocketed.

Since then, many members of the Krug family have helped the estate grow: Joseph Krug II, grandson of Johann-Joseph, in 1910; his son Paul Krug II, during the 1930's; Rémi and Henri Krug, in 1962. Finally, the Krug brand was bought in 1999 by the LVMH Group, which specializes in luxury goods. However, the estate remains in the family, with Olivier Krug (its proud sixth-generation representative) acting as the current director.
