Krug Grande Cuvée in Rare and Desirable Magnums - HK$4,650 per Mag

A world-famous Champagne house representing some of the very best quality champagne, Krug never fails to impress and satisfy its drinkers. Unlike other champagne houses, Krug’s non-vintage Grand Cuvée is regarded as the house's top production. The cuvee is re-created every year, blended from meticulously selected individual wines from more than 10 different years.

The most recent release is their 168th Edition which was composed around the 2012 harvest - a beautiful year with a low yield due to the frost, rain, storms and hale during winter and spring but was followed by the driest ripening season since 1974 - and was crafted to become what the house describes as "the most generous expression of Champagne". It is a blend of 198 wines from 11 different years, with the youngest from 2012 and the oldest dating back to 1996.

Scored 97pts by Wine Spectator which said this 168th edition was "hard to stop sipping" and 19 out of 20 points by Jancis Robinson who commented that this is "magnificently precise". Bottles are always popular but magnums, which are made in much smaller quantities, are the real prize for any Champagne collector. The comparative rarity against bottles makes them scarce in the market when mature and that when older stocks do occasionally appear, they always sell quickly. We are delighted to offer a parcel of 
Krug Grande Cuvée 168th Edition in rare magnums today at only HK$4,650 per Mag, let me know if you would like to secure a few -

Notably intense aroma with crème pâtissière dominant. Masses of extract and remarkable acidity underpinned by great depth of flavour and beautiful balance on the finish. I think this is going to be a really great, glamorous Grande Cuvée that will continue to develop in bottle for many years to come. I suspect it will be even more enjoyable from the end of 2020. The length on the palate is remarkable. This is magnificently precise, a great tribute to the work of the old cellarmaster Eric Lebel, who is still in the background, and a wonderful welcome to his successor Julie Cavil, who has been learning from him since 2006. (May 2020) Drink 2020-2035.
