The Krug Champagne Grande Cuvée ED 169 is an iconic non-vintage Brut from France’s Champagne region, crafted by Krug from a blend of 146 wines spanning 2000-2013, primarily Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Sourced from prestigious vineyards, it displays a radiant gold hue with fine bubbles and a complex nose of ripe peach, lemon curd, and toasted brioche, with hints of almond, vanilla, and chalky minerality. The palate is rich and harmonious, with vibrant acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, elegant finish with notes of candied citrus and spice. Fermented in oak casks and aged on lees for over seven years, it reflects the diverse terroirs of Champagne. With a low dosage (6 g/L), it offers a dry, refined profile. Perfect with oysters, truffle dishes, or creamy cheeses, it’s a versatile luxury for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it has exceptional aging potential, evolving into richer, nuttier notes over decades. This Grande Cuvée exemplifies Krug’s artistry in blending, delivering a Champagne of unparalleled depth and elegance for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a world-class sparkling wine.
