Champagne  Krug 172Th Edition (Box) Brut Sa

The Champagne Krug 172nd Edition Brut is a remarkable expression from the illustrious house of Krug, known for its commitment to excellence and tradition. This edition showcases a complex assemblage of grapes from multiple vintages, reflecting the house's meticulous approach to blending.

Originating from the prestigious Champagne region, this wine features a harmonious blend of predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, alongside smaller quantities of Pinot Meunier. The terroir, with its chalky soils and unique microclimates, imbues the wine with depth and character, typical of the great Champagnes.

Technically, the Krug 172nd Edition is characterised by its extended ageing process, which contributes to its textured palate and intricate aromas. The nose reveals a bouquet of ripe fruits, accompanied by notes of brioche and toasted almonds, a hallmark of its refined craftsmanship.

On the palate, it offers a sophisticated balance of richness and freshness, with flavours of candied citrus, stone fruit, and creamy textures leading to a long, elegant finish. The sheer complexity reflects Krug's dedication to the art of Champagne-making.

This champagne, while not attributed to a specific vintage pre-1950, embodies the heritage and legacy of Krug, making it a coveted choice for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
