The 'Grande Cuvée' from Krug is truly one of the great Champagnes of the world. This cuvée (disgorged in winter 2015) is a blend of wines from 12 vintages, spanning from 1990-2007. The resultant wine is simply stunning, showing bright aromatics of Meyer lemon rind, orchard fruits and Marcona almond. The mousse and silky texture borders ethereal, as it folds in flavors of Key lime, freshly sliced apples, honeydew melon and brioche. The exquisite range of this wine, in addition to the weight on the palate is absolutely magnificent. The gorgeous finish is long and complex, adding even further appeal to this utterly compelling Champagne. While this is already simply sensational, it shoud also last the test of time. ID#115014.
