Merchant's description
The 169ème Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée is an expertly crafted recipe of 146 wines from 11 different years. The youngest is from the year 2013 and the oldest dates back to 2000. The final blend is 43% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier. The nose includes aromas of flowers, citrus fruits, marzipan and gingerbread. On the palate, hazelnuts, almonds, nougat, jellied fruits, brioche and a touch of honey. Outstanding from start to finish.
