Krug

Grand Cuvee Edition 171

Krug's masterful blend of over 120 individual wines from 10 different year is transcendent. "Instantly recognizable aromatic depth and complexity here. The DNA of Grande Cuvee looms large on the nose with fresh-baked brioche, crushed almond, subtle baking spices and stony notes, as well as an array of stone fruit. The palate delivers a wide spectrum of citrus, from lemon to orange to grapefruit and beyond. The Chardonnay really impresses in a long, concentrated mode. 43% Pinot Noir, 35% chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier. It contains 40% reserve wine and is composed of 146 different components from 11 different vintages, the youngest being 2013 and the oldest 2000" 97/100 James Suckling
