香檳迷聽到Krug這名字,就如男人見到法拉利跑車,女人見到Tiffany鑽戒一樣,雙眼會發亮。Krug於1843年創辦,現已傳到第六代,是少有仍以家族式經營的香檳莊,正因為對家族聲譽的一份執着,所以對出品更一絲不苟。
有人認為無年份香檳唔矜貴,其實要做到香檳的味道年年一樣仲難, Krug嘅Grande Cuvee就是一個成功例子。這瓶最基本的無年份的Grande Cuvee已足夠將別的香檳比下去,難怪它的價錢比一般無年份香檳貴一份。
Krug Grande Cuvee帶金黄色澤,當氣泡滑過舌面,迅即感到酒質的分量,口感creamy,散發如麵包糠及橡木氣味,接住是香料味,再來是乾果味,結尾甜中帶酸,像水果糖,有long finish。

||As you taste it, notes of toasted bread, hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar and jellied fruits may take you by surprise. You may even taste hints of apples still on the tree, flowers in bloom, ripe and dried fruit, almonds, marzipan, gingerbread, sweet spices and even brioche and honey. You may also notice its exceptional freshness in the mouth, with rich and tangy flavours of lemon and grapefruit enhanced by the subtlety of its fine and elegant bubbles. Krug Grande Cuvée can age beautifully.
