Krug 171éme Edition Grand Cuvee

Peerless and Powerfully Expressive Champagne

"Very lively, crisp nose. Tense and surprisingly vibrant for such a hot growing season – positively explosive in terms of its impact on the nose and palate. Lots of acidity and impressively long. A very good Krug, Grande Cuvée."
