✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Krug Grande Cuvée 163ème Édition is a testament to the visionary dream of Joseph Krug, who in 1843 set out to craft the most generous expression of Champagne every single year, independent of climatic variations. This specific edition was built around the harvest of 2007, a remarkably unusual year that began with an exceptionally warm spring followed by a cool, rainy summer. To achieve the signature Krug complexity, the Chef de Caves blended 183 individual wines from 12 different vintages, spanning from 1990 to 2007. Every plot's wine was individually fermented in small oak casks, a traditional technique that imparts unparalleled structure and micro-oxygenation. After blending, the bottles rested in the historic chalk cellars of Reims for over seven years, allowing the wine to develop its legendary depth, fine bead, and multifaceted aromatic profile of toasted brioche, citrus confit, and hazelnut.
🍾 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.
