About This Champagne
Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition, presented in a gift box, is the blend composed around the hot, dry 2015 harvest.
In 2015 unusual heat and drought ran from late May to mid-August, slowing the vines, before rain in the second half of August let the berries fill out.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Grilled nuts, almond paste, quince and lemon, with a floral lift.
- Palate: Bright and focused, with limoncello, dried fruit and brioche on a fine, steady mousse.
- Finish: Long and clean, finishing on citrus peel and toast.
