A blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier in which 42% is vin de resérve from 13 different years between 2011 and 1995 that sat seven years on the lees to be disgorged in the first quarter of 2018 with a dosage of around 5g/l (all details are in the Krug App KrugID 118013).
A bright golden color and a bouquet that is an explosion of elegant intensity with a citrus vein of tangerine and bergamot. The aroma then becomes a compendium of dried fruit, sweet spice, ginger and barley with pulsating sensations of iodine and graphite with a return of brioche and citron. The creamy mouthfeel is in fact silky with citrus and buttery notes in a winning dialectic that enlivens a clear and present structure while the finish is both solid and ethereal at the same time. A great performance for an extremely Krug Grande Cuvée.
