Our June 2018 Krug tasting sold out very fast and so many people asked to be wait-listed we are doing a second similar tasting this time mixing in more Krug vintages. This second Krug tasting also sold out fast; to wait list for any returns please call or email Chris chris@TheFinestBubble.com

If you have a particular passion for Krug, then this is the event for you. A tasting of ten Krug Champagnes, from recent editions and vintages. Beginning with Edition 162, 2006 base, to the recently released Edition 166, 2010 base and then four Krug vintages, the latest 2004 and the much celebrated 2002, along with a magnum vs bottle with 2000. We will do the tasting in the Lutyens room at 67 Pall Mall, seated with the champagnes brought to us, we will taste blind and you will have the opportunity to use our live scoring app and there will be plenty of time for a round table discussion.

Krug Grande Cuvée is the archetype of Krug's philosophy of craftsmanship and savoir faire: a blend of around 120 wines from ten or more different vintages, some of which may have reached twenty years of age. Blending so many vintages gives Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas, its incredible generosity and its absolute elegance: something impossible to express with the wines of just a single year. Over twenty years are needed to craft each bottle and its exceptional finesse is the result of a stay of at least another six years in the cellars: the first prestige cuvée re-created each year, beyond the very notion of vintage.

The potential for a Krug vintage champagne is identified during the blending of Krug Grande Cuvée. Once the non-vintage blend has been secured and all of the reserves earmarked, the wines displaying the most pronounced character of the vintage are blended to create the vintage champagne.
