Krug
Founded in 1843, and now run by the fifth generation of Krugs (Henri and Rémi), the reputation of this champagne house goes from
strength to strength. The Grande Cuvée is a blend of champagnes from the finest vintages, and is very rich and biscuity. The vintage is
full-bodied and rich with a lingering finish. Both wines, unusually for champagne, are fermented in oak barrels.
Tasting Note
Rich, floral, outstandingly complex Champagne from a legendary House, with a toasty nose and flavours of fresh lemon.
Wine Making
The taste of Krug is greatly enhanced by an exceptionally long period of maturation (6 to 8 years) in the Krug cellars before release. This requires, of course, maintaining a stock covering at least six years of sales, a practice unparalleled in Champagne.
Food Matching
Very versatile, can be drunk as an aperitif or with desserts such as: poached pears in phyllo pastry with brandy sabayon or with dishes such as Riesling-poached trout with thyme.
