Krug Grande Cuvee NV Krug Grande Cuvee NV Champagne Lots 34-42: Packed in individual presentation cases I am lucky enough to drink this relatively often, but never often enough! We served it in magnums in Hong Kong at one of our October 2011 auctions and it scented the whole, vast saleroom with its 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. SS. It takes over 20 years to craft each bottle of Grande Cuvee, a Champagne created beyond the idea of vintage to offer the very best, every year Krug Grande Cuvee is the quintessence of Krug's crafting philosophy and savoir faire. It is an extrordinary blend of around 120 different wines, some of which may reach 15 years of age. Blending so many wines gives Krug Grande Cuvee its unique fullness of flavours and aromas, its incredible generosity and its absolute elegance - something impossible to express with the wines of just a single year. Its exceptional finesse is the result of resting for at least another six years in Krug's cellars.
