Krug Grande Cuvee 163

Krug Grande Cuvée 163ème Édition은 크룩 하우스의 상징적인 블렌딩 샴페인으로, 크룩만의 독특한 철학과 양조 방식을 보여주는 최고의 작품입니다. 크룩 샴페인은 수십 개의 서로 다른 빈티지와 포도밭에서 생산된 와인을 블렌딩하여 매년 한정된 에디션을 출시하는데, 163ème Édition은 2007년 빈티지를 주축으로 2006년과 이전의 11개 빈티지 와인들이 혼합된 걸작입니다. 특히 Krug 샴페인은 높은 산도로 유명하며, 이를 통해 신선함과 오래도록 유지되는 피니시가 돋보입니다. 163번째 에디션은 현재 마시기에 매우 이상적인 상태로, 시트러스, 잘 익은 과일, 토스트, 견과류의 복합적인 향이 어우러져 고급스럽고 우아한 풍미를 자아냅니다.

지금 마시는 Krug 163ème Édition은 여전히 그 산도와 활기 넘치는 신선함을 유지하면서도, 약간의 숙성을 통해 풍미가 더욱 부드럽고 깊어졌습니다. 산미는 와인의 강력한 구조와 복합적인 아로마를 균형 있게 받쳐주며, 오랜 여운과 함께 피니시가 길게 이어집니다.

Krug Grande Cuvée 163ème Édition is an iconic blend from the legendary Krug House, showcasing the artistry of blending multiple vintages and terroirs. This particular edition is built around the 2007 vintage, combined with 11 reserve wines dating back to 1990. Known for its high acidity, Krug Champagne offers unparalleled freshness, and the 163rd Edition is no exception. Currently in an ideal drinking window, this champagne reveals a symphony of citrus, ripe fruits, toasted brioche, and nutty complexity, reflecting both its youthful energy and the maturity gained from careful aging.

Now, the Krug 163ème Édition is in a beautifully balanced phase, where its sharp acidity is still very much alive, offering vibrancy, while some aging has softened its edges, allowing for a richer, rounder texture. The acidity perfectly supports the wine’s structure, carrying its complex aromas through a long, lingering finish.
