Bright straw-yellow in colour, Krug Champagne features lively bubbles and pleasant notes of ripe fruit, such as yellow apple, and citrus fruits like lemon and mandarin. Floral aromas unfold upon pouring into the glass, followed by spicy notes of marzipan and ginger. On the palate, mineral and salty nuances are perceived on the finish.
Krug Grande Cuvée Brut is ideal with delicate, sophisticated dishes, such as grilled turbot with aged Parmesan and truffle. It is also delightful as an aperitif with prosciutto, or served with oysters, grilled prawns, or with desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin or cheesecake.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.
