Krug Grande Cuvee 163 eme edition NV AOC 1,5l

Krug Grande Cuvée 163rd Edition NV is a wine that embodies Krug's Champagne philosophy: a non-vintage blend that draws its strength from a variety of vintages and vineyards, destined to exist beyond time in a 1.5-liter magnum bottle, designed for moments when balance is preferred to haste. The House of Krug, based in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region of France, certified Champagne AOC, has built its identity on a vision of winemaking as a collective work of art: a collection of long-aging reserve wines brought together to create a cuvée capable of offering depth, coherence, and an aromatic profile that transcends the seasons. The production philosophy is based on the idea of ​​enhancing every trace of terroir through a vast archive of carefully preserved base wines and blended according to a criterion that favors harmony, structure, and longevity; the cuvée lends itself to bottle maturation, developing a complexity that remains fresh. This style lends itself to refined food pairings, from seafood risotto to seasonal appetizers, and is particularly suited to celebrations or convivial gatherings where drinking requires time and attention; the 1.5-liter magnum format helps maintain the effervescence and allow for a slower evolution throughout the evening. The distinctive elements of Krug Grande Cuvée lie in the balance between density and lightness, in an aromatic texture that tends towards notes of ripe citrus, hazelnut, brioche, and a subtle hint of honey, accompanied by a creamy texture and an ultra-fine perlage. Within the Krug range, Grande Cuvée occupies a foundational role: it is the constant that projects the house's signature and allows one to appreciate the dimension of the Krug project, offering a reliable framework to accompany refined appetizers, complex dishes, or celebrations. Ultimately, Krug Grande Cuvée 163rd Edition NV is a tasting that invites prolonged attention, a slow reading of the flavours, in line with the STELT positioning.
