✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Krug Grande Cuvée 158ème Édition represents the 158th recreation of founder Joseph Krug's vision: to craft the most generous and expressive Champagne possible every single year, transcending the limitations of vintage variations. This historic edition is masterfully built around the legendary 2002 harvest, a year celebrated across Champagne for its luminous fruit and structural power. It is a spectacular blend of 120 wines from 10 different vintages, with the oldest reserve wine dating back to 1990 and the youngest from 2002. Composed of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, each individual parcel was vinified in small, seasoned oak casks to preserve its unique terroir signature. After resting for over six years in Krug's dark, chalk cellars, this edition emerged as a masterpiece of complexity, balancing fresh citrus, dried fruits, toasted brioche, and a profound, mineral-driven finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagnehuset Krug blev grundlagt i Reims i 1843 af Joseph Krug og regnes i dag blandt verdens mest kompromisløse og respekterede prestige-champagneproducenter. Huset arbejder ud fra grundlæggerens visionære filosofi om hvert år at skabe det ypperste udtryk for Champagne, uanset årgangens luner og klimatiske udfordringer. Hver enkelt markparcel behandles derfor som en unik byggesten i den mesterlige sammenstikning. Krug vinificerer sine basisvine på traditionelle, små egetræsfade og trækker på et omfattende bibliotek af reservevine fra over ti forskellige årgange. Resultatet er et legendarisk sortiment, der er berømt for sin dybe rigdom, kompleksitet og enestående lagringspotentiale – anført af flagskibet Krug Grande Cuvée, de eftertragtede årgangschampagner og sjældne enkeltmarksmesterværker som Clos du Mesnil og Clos d'Ambonnay.
