Krug 1971 Champagne 78cl

A bottle of Krug 1971 vintage Champagne, a blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 14% Pinot Meunier and 39% Chardonnay.

'This is what Krug is all about. Mature and exotic; the nose of the '71 is unbeatable.....The inumerable aromas are honeysuckle, honey, cakes, strawberry jam, boiled vegentables, popcorn - the list is as long as you care to make it. Unusually the taste hints more at Chardonnay than Pinot Noir. 96/100' Richard Juhlin, 4000 Champagnes, tasted 2003.

Krug Champagne is a Champagne house founded by Joseph Krug in 1853. It is based principally in Reims, the main city in France’s Champagne region, and is one of the famous Champagne houses that formed part of the Grande Marques. Today, the house is majority owned by LVMH, but despite this, the Krug family is still actively involved in all the key decisions of the house.

There is no ABV visible on the label.
