Krug Grande Cuvee 161 eme, Rare OWC Available, "absolutely stellar" Antonio Galloni E

Since the foundation in 1843, Krug has had a longstanding reputation for the quality of its champagnes, most especially for its Vintage and Grand Cuvée productions, with a strong global following from wine connoisseurs and Champagne lovers. Richard Juhlin, the renowned Champagne writer, has always been a fan of Krug. He says that their Champagne "stands for artistry, tradition, craftsmanship and moments of pure pleasure" and "are small masterpieces… If the opportunity arises, never miss the chance to drink a Krug!”.
Among their range of Champagnes, Grande Cuvée is the archetype of Krug's philosophy of craftsmanship and savoir faire which is made from a blend of around 120 wines from ten or more different vintages, some of which may reach 15 years of age. The blending of so many vintages gives the Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas, its incredible generosity and its absolute elegance - something impossible to express with the wines of just a single year. Its exceptional finesse is the result of a stay of at least another six years in the cellars. Over twenty years are needed to craft each bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée: the first prestige cuvée re-created each year, beyond the very notion of vintage.

Today we are pleased to bring to you their 161 eme Edition which is made from base vintage 2005, scored 94 points with Antonio Galloni who said that this is " This is one of the very best Grande Cuvees I can remember tasting. ". In addition, these are packed in original wooden case of 6 which would be an ideal format for long-term cellaring -

The NV Grande Cuvee is absolutely stellar. This is one of the very best Grande Cuvees I can remember tasting. The flavors are bright, focused and beautifully delineated throughout, all of which make me think the wine will age well for many, many years. Lemon peel, white flowers, crisp pears, smoke and crushed rocks race across the palate in a vibrant, tense Champagne that epitomizes finesse. The release is based on the 2005 vintage and was disgorged in winter 2012/2013. The blend is: 44% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 19% Meunier.
