The champagne Krug Grande Cuvée 159ème Edition Brut from the winery Champagne Krug has been rated in 2023 by Peter Moser with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Meunier from the region Champagne in France.
Medium golden yellow in colour with fine brass reflections and a delicate, persistent mousse. On the nose, a hint of dried herbs, with ripe yellow apple fruit, a hint of kumquat zest and some blossom honey. The palate is complex with well-integrated acidity, a fine touch of honey and yellow tropical fruit notes redolent of mango, with orange zest, and almond cake on the long finish. A powerful and juicy food wine. (11/5/2023)
