Krug "Grand Cuvée" Brut Champagne (1.5L)

SKU #1004092

A great price for a Magnum of one of the best Champagnes in the world! Wine is due in middle of October. 995 points Wine Spectator: "A powerful, well-toned Champagne, featuring coconut, toast, grapefruit and coffee aromas and flavors. There are plenty of bass notes, punctuated by crisp acidity, and it all comes together on the fine texture with an aftertaste of roasted hazelnut and coffee. Drink now through 2014." (11/09) 92 points and 2 stars from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "Is it too old or just right? Very few sparkling wines of any stripe are as complex as the Krug Grande Cuvee, a blending of old and young into a layered, toasty, nutty, subtly ripe apple aroma with hints of French Roast all tied to a refined yet fully charged set of bubbles. Rich, creamy, almost fleshy for the breed, this latest version is both a dream come true for lovers of aged Champagne and a challenge for folks who prefer a lighter, brisker, more citrusy style." 90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The NV Brut Grand Cuvee offers up attractive suggestions of pears, quince, spice, brioche and minerals. As is often the case here, the Grand Cuvee reveals notable elegance and finesse. The use of reserve wines in the blend givEees this wine an unusual level of complexity." (12/08)

To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Champagne

- The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. View our bestselling Champagne.
