'Grande Cuvée 169th Edition' Champagne Brut Krug

Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition Champagne AOC Brut is made by the renowned French maison Krug . It is the fruit of a blend that includes the three representative varieties of the denomination, namely Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The plots are among the most suitable in the Reims area, where the chalky and calcareous soils give the grapes an extraordinary finesse. When they reach the ideal degree of ripeness, only the healthiest and ripest bunches are harvested by hand. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in oak barrels with the addition of wines from previous years. In line with the Champenoise Method, the wine ages on the lees after refermentation in the bottle for at least 72 months. A small quantity of liquer d'expédition is added to the disgorgement. Perfect right away, Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition Champagne AOC Brut is a label that can pleasantly surprise after a ten-year rest in the cellar.
