Krug & Dom Pérignon Champagne Collection

Krug Grande Cuvée Brut 166 Ème Édition Champagne from France has notes of toasted bread, hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar and jellied fruits. It also has flavors of lemon and grapefruit with hints of apples still on the tree, flowers in bloom, ripe and dried fruit, almonds, marzipan, gingerbread, sweet spices, brioche and honey. It can be enjoyed with oysters, grilled shrimp, Indian or Moroccan food, carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheese cake.

The tasting of Dom Pérignon, France's finest, begins with a wine that breathes and comes alive in a light, playful spiral, with touches of coconut, cinnamon, cocoa and tobacco. In the mouth, the wine reaches a state of complex fullness: earthy, smoky, and pearly, underscored by the vibrant warmth of peppery spice. The sensation of intensity develops and melts into a deep, rounded heart, with a fruity, exotic maturity and a slight touch of aniseed. This sensation, almost unsettling, is even more pronounced in the finish, while the notes of spice, still present, remain discreet, with toasted flavors.
