{"product_id":"krug-grande-cuvee","title":"Krug Grande Cuvée","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrande Cuvée is not a vintage wine and is not trying to be. Each release is a fresh recreation blended to a consistent house style, and Krug numbers them rather than dating them — the 172ème Édition, for instance, drew on 146 separate wines from eleven different years, the youngest 2016 and the oldest 1998, at roughly 44% pinot noir, 36% chardonnay and 20% meunier. Every one of those wines is fermented in small oak casks first, which is unusual at this scale and much of why Krug tastes the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter blending it rests around seven years more in the cellars before release, and it shows: dense and layered rather than simply crisp, with dried fruit, hazelnut, honey and brioche, a fine insistent bead and real length. Serve it cool but not ice cold, in a white wine glass. It stands up to rich food far better than most champagne — Krug themselves point people towards Indian cooking, and the spice genuinely works against that depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Krug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51609615958262,"sku":"SH-FINE-KRUG-GRANDE-CUVEE-750","price":590.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/4361\/7014\/files\/krug-grande-cuvee-01_484f7467-cd37-48fc-85e5-ec39c430a806.webp?v=1790311726","url":"https:\/\/www.spirithaus.com.au\/products\/krug-grande-cuvee","provider":"SPIRITHAUS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
