Krug Grande Cuvee 173 eme Edition Brut

品飲筆記：這款 Krug 經典大調帶出層次分明的香氣，細緻氣泡先在口中鋪開，接著是烘焙麵包、酵母與一抹淡淡焦糖的香味，柑橘皮與白肉石果（如梨與水蜜桃）在舌上跳動，同時有礦感與堅果的細緻回味。口感滑順、奶油感十足，但酸度活潑，讓整體節奏明快又有延展性。

酒莊與釀造：Krug 自成一格，將多年份與儲存酒款巧妙混合，追求每一瓶都像一幅完整的風土拼圖。釀造採傳統香檳法，部分酒液於小橡木中發酵或陳年，並有長時間的澱粉母陳年，賦予香氣與口感的豐富層次。劑量維持在 Brut 乾型，讓天然風味更明顯。

葡萄園與產地：原料來自香檳各地不同的園塊，土壤與微氣候各異，融合後呈現出既有礦質冷冽又有成熟果實的圓潤。這種「田地多樣性」是 Grande Cuvée 維持一致性與深度的關鍵。

建議享用方式：瓶身取出後可放置約30分鐘讓香氣完全舒展。非常適合搭配鮮味海鮮、魚子醬或在重要時刻單飲慶祝。

Tasting note: Radiant and layered, this edition of Krug Grande Cuvée opens with an elegant, persistent mousse that carries aromas of toasted brioche, flint and light caramel. Citrus zest and white stone fruit — pear and peach — sit alongside subtle nutty and saline notes. The palate is creamy yet focused, with laser-like acidity and a long, resonant finish.

Producer notes: Krug takes a mosaic approach to blending, assembling many reserve wines from different years to create a single, signature non‑vintage expression. The House’s attention to detail — extended ageing on lees and careful selection of reserve parcels — delivers exceptional depth and complexity.

Winemaking notes: Made by the traditional method and matured in Krug’s cellars, this Grande Cuvée is the result of blending dozens of base wines and older reserve wines, some vinified in small oak and all held to exacting standards. Brut dosage keeps the profile dry but rounded, letting the creamy lees, toasty autolysis and mineral backbone shine.

Vineyard notes: Fruit is sourced from a wide range of plots across Champagne, chosen for complementary soils and microclimates. The result is a wine that combines freshness, minerality and textural richness — a multi-vintage portrait of the region.

Serve and enjoy: Chill well, open and let rest for about 30 minutes to reveal secondary aromatics. Excellent with oysters, lobster, refined seafood or as a stand-alone celebratory glass.
