Beschreibung:

Krug Grand Cuvee NV 8 x 3 litre- jeroboam (8 owc) Included with this lot is a tasting and lunch for 6 people at the House of Krug. Maison Krug Few great wine collectors, even if they concentrate on red wines, bypass Krug Champagne. Its power and sheer vinosity appeal to a connoisseur of the greatest Bordeaux and Burgundy, and collectors have a tendency to preface their tastings and dinners with a glass of this majestic Reims "institution". Some go so far as to organise vertical tastings of Krug in its own right, recognising the unique properties of this Champagne in terms of development and maturity. Krug is the Rolls Royce of Champagnes. Krug Grande Cuvée I am lucky enough to drink this relatively often, but never often enough! It has an incredible maritime, winey perfume - astonishing. Heavenly honey. Glorious freshness. Then the superb walnut nose kicks in after 20 minutes in the glass - always a tulip-shaped glass for Krug, never a flute, which does not do justice to this very serious nectar. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
