La Grande Cuvée Magnum (166th Edition)

The Grande Cuvée is the flagship of Krug and is sold without a vintage, but with an edition number. The 166th edition is based on the 2010 harvest and brings together 140 wines. It is 45% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay and 16% Meunier. In the glass it is golden, with a lively, fine perlage. On the palate hazelnut, ripe fruit and citrus give both richness and elegance.

Serve it at 9 to 12 °C, ideally in a large white wine glass. As a magnum, the bottle is made for celebrations and big tables. The cuvée is versatile at the table: it goes with a piece of Parmesan, with turbot, and especially well with black truffle. The magnum comes in a gift box.
