Krug Collection 1969

Level above foil, slightly scuffed label, scuffed capsule, Provenance: Sotheby's Hong Kong, Lot 9351, 9 October 2021, The Art of Living: Legendary Wines from the Cellar of Pierre Chen

18 different growths. Pinot Noir 50%, Meunier 13%, Chardonnay 37%. One of the great classic Champagne bouquets of all time. Vanillin, oak, hawthorn, toffee. So honied it coats the mouth. Pure nougat in flavour. Like chewing, it has such body and texture. A toffee sign-off, combining wonderful vinosity and freshness. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
