Lot #1646. Krug Grande Cuvée Brut NV

Description: Consists of 3 Half Bottles, 0.375L
Region: France, Champagne.
Score: 95 WS.
"A smoky, intense wine, with layer upon layer of coffee, roasted nut, golden piecrust, ripe apple, honey and spice flavors. The richness is balanced by a focused freshness, perfectly poised like a high diver about to jump, standing above the crowd and showing the interplay of power and control in an elegant package." Wine Spectator, Dec 31, 2010
Notes: "This half-bottle left the Krug cellars to receive its cork in summer 2011. This is the last step after more than four years of ageing in the cellars . . . . This half-bottle is an extraordinary blend of 142 wines from 11 different vintages, the oldest from 1990 and the youngest from 2006 . . . . [O]f many plots from the villages of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize and Villers Marmery . . . . The final composition of this Krug Grande Cuvée is: 44% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 21% Meunier."
