Krug
Krug 'Grande Cuvée 168eme Édition' NV, Champagne, France - 1.5l
The quality of a champagne can often be assessed by the balance on the palate. In this instance, Krug stands with distinction. This golden champagne positively fizzes once uncorked, but offers a deep and muscular flavour. The nose is built around citrus, though this is countered by brioche, spice and a hint of tobacco. By the time this crisp and complex champagne hits the tongue, a wide array of fruity notes announce their presence. This leads to a flawless balance of the sweet and acidic, along with a decadent and creamy finish that lingers - both on the tongue and lips and in the memory.
GRAPE
-
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier
WHAT IT GOES WITH
This champagne is so well-balanced that it can accompany almost any meal – or indeed be sipped alone to mark an occasion. Pork or seafood are other popular pairings though, as are strong cheeses
ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Founded by Joseph Krug in 1843, the champagne house that bears his name has risen to powerhouse status. Located in the heart of the Champagne region in Reims, the house is now owned by the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton conglomerate. Do not be fooled into thinking that this makes Krug just another identikit vineyard, though. LVMH have enough business savvy to understand what makes Krug so spectacular. As a result, the family - now under the stewardship of Olivier Krug, the great-great grandson of Joseph - remain involved in the running of the house.
FARMING
Sustainable. Vegan.
N.B. Unfortunately, the Krug bottles are unique in more ways than one way - the shape of this particular magnum will not fit into our wooden gift boxes.

N.B. Unfortunately, the Krug bottles are unique in more ways than one way - the shape of this particular magnum will not fit into our wooden gift boxes.
A wooden box can make your magnum look even more special, especially if you want to personalise it for a gift. We can engrave up to 50 characters, in one of five different fonts, to the front of the wooden box.
We always intend to despatch any orders on the same day, on a next day delivery service, assuming checkout is completed before 1pm as this gives us enough time to prepare the package.
You can also track your order throughout the process, ensuring that you’re home to accept it or make alternative arrangements with DPD.
If ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient’s address and a contact telephone number so they are notified a delivery is coming. While the arrival of a magnum will surely be a welcome surprise, we want to ensure somebody is available to sign for the package. We’ll keep you updated about the delivery progress, and supply a purchase invoice that doubles as a receipt for your financial records to your email address. We never include an invoice with the package in case it is a gift.
We rarely need to process returns, but in the improbable event that we need to do so, we will offer a full refund on any product returned in its original packaging and in a re-sellable condition. Unfortunately we cannot refund shipping costs.
