Drink it now or cellar for up to 30 years. No need to decant but best to open it 20-30 minutes before service.

Maison Krug, founded by Joseph Kug in 1843 and today directed by Olivier Krug with chef de cave Eric Lebel, is one of the legendary Champagne companies and has been part of the LVMH group since 1999.

The Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 171 is an extraordinary wine, made starting from the 2015 harvest, with a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years, including the oldest from 1998. The Chef de Cave wanted to highlight the diversity of the delicate aromatic expressions to create a wine of great elegance and complexity. 2015 was a vintage characterized by particular climatic conditions with continuous variations between cool and hot periods, drought, and intense storms. However, this contrasting climate had a positive effect on the grapes, preserving their freshness and ensuring an effect of great heterogeneity throughout the region. The wine rests for about 7 years before degorgement.

This Champagne with a unique character shows a complex and intense olfactory profile with aromas of ripe fruit and citrus, fresh flowers and sweet spices, honey, almonds, and dried fruit. On the palate, the bubbles are fine and persistent. The wine is fresh, citrus rich and elegant. It goes very well with crustaceans and seafood but it can also pair with light truffle dishes.
