▪ A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. ▪ Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. ▪ Flavours of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.
Krug Grande Cuvée 161ème Édition lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, from an aged parmesan to turbot à la truffe. ▪ It can be enjoyed as an aperitif with Jabugo ham and mature comté or served to accompany oysters, grilled shrimps, Indian or Moroccan food, as well as desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheesecake.
