Krug Grande Cuvee 170 eme edition NV AOC 0,75l

Krug Grande Cuvée 170th Edition NV AOC Champagne, 0.75 L, presents itself as the most recognizable expression of the House of Krug: a non-vintage cuvée that blends a variety of crus, vintages, and terroirs from the Champagne region to offer coherence, depth, and a complexity that renews itself without losing its signature. The history of the Krug producer is a tale of boldness: founded by Joseph Krug with the goal of creating a wine that would transcend estates tied to a single harvest, the house has cultivated a blending philosophy that prioritizes the collective memory of the vineyards, the care of the parcels, and the patience of time. Today, Krug is an integral part of the LVMH group, but maintains an artisanal culture of continuous experimentation and attention to detail, from grape selection to the art of blending. The production philosophy is based on a balance between substance and refinement: the grande cuvée is nourished by a multitude of base wines and extended maturations that shape an aromatic texture, where the freshness of citrus fruits coexists with the sweetness of brioche and hazelnut notes, supported by a light minerality. Distinctive elements: Krug Grande Cuvée's ability to express multiple terroirs in a single bottle, the texture of a creamy mousse, the fine and persistent bubbles, and a longevity that allows the wine to evolve over time without losing its elegance. Compared to other similar producers, its consistency of style and the ability to be enjoyed from the opening despite its complexity. The sensory characteristics emerge narratively: on the nose, a symphony of candied citrus, almond, toasted butter, and a hint of white flowers unfolds; on the palate, it is accompanied by a supple fullness, a delightful freshness, a silky texture, and a lingering finish that invites repeat tasting. Within the Krug range, Grande Cuvée occupies a central role, serving as a benchmark of quality and an ambassador for the Krug signature; it is often chosen to celebrate important moments or to offer a tasting experience that can accompany refined dishes, without overshadowing the versatility of everyday toasts. With its 170th edition, the message is clear: the art of blending, rigor, and a discreet elegance that adapts to any context, in keeping with the STELT spirit.
