About this wine

Tax status: Duty PaidQuestion Mark Origin: Champagne, France
Fill level: Into Neck (IN)Question Mark Grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier

Tasting Notes:

Deep golden colour. Rich nose of butterscotch and caramel, honey, grilled nuts, toast and apricot. A lovely honeyed, sweet rich flavour to the long palate that is balanced out by the excellent acid structure.
95/100

This was super earthy on the nose, reminiscent of what I like to call stinky cheese, or Tallegio. It was light and delicate yet creamy with hints of nuttiness, lot's of mushrooms, nice acidity and a long finish.

Other Notes:

1976 was a superb vintage for Krug, resulting in the release of both a "Collection" and their first rose!

Wine-Searcher Prices £578 a bottle.
