I love Krug, and I love champagne, but I admit that, with all I know about wine and food, I only discovered this “no flutes” rule recently. But it makes sense. I was never served champagne in a flute, I never had flutes in my cabinet, and whenever you think about wine, you think nose first, lips second. The glass allows the wine to infuse with oxygen and open with its flavor. The shape of the flute constricts the wine, it limits its appetite for oxygen. And same goes for anything! I mean, would you eat white truffles out of a test tube? Anyways, I loved this video, right now I’m looking at the 2008 vintage, 27th edition Rose, and 171 Grande Cuvée Krugs among some other wonderful bottles to choose from (Jacques Selosse Initial Blanc de Blanc, 1990 Dom Perignon, 2015 Cristal, and 1975/1985 Bollinger) for a special dinner coming up, a seafood Michelin Star in Hollywood! I’m going between the 2008 and 171 Grande Cuvée Krug as my top choices.
Lived this comment and the depth of explanation. Truly can’t thank you enough for sharing and I’ve actually put this on our Instagram stories this morning! Appreciate you 🍷
My greatest champagne memory was a vintage Bollinger with pizza at 2am in maida vale. It was my most expensive night out ever as a student!
But a lifetime memory!
My husband has surprised me twice with a bottle of Krug with dinner. Always the tops! And NO FLUTES!
Love that!
it's funny, I watched a couple of videos where two masters of wine who prefer flutes over other glasses(for the visual of the bubbles, flavors etc..)
Nice video, have only had Krug once, one of the best things I’ve ever tasted
An exquisite experience!
Cheers Olivier 🥂
Nothing comes remotely close to Krug and Charles Heidsieck, atleast for me. Thank you for this amazing interview! Cheers
Thanks for listening! Appreciate the comment and agree
Interesting, drinking favorite MCC not in flute anymore❤
I've got the 171 grand cuvee, 2008 vintage, and 2011 vintage currently. Had the 2006 last month at Alma in Portugal
Invite us over!!! 🙏🏼
Hey, I’m going in between the 171 and the 2008 for a special dinner coming up! Any thoughts and tasting notes would be welcome if you care to share😉
Next time I drink Krug I'll be sure to drink it on a very long and narrow flute.
You do you! 🥂
You do you boo 🥂
I love la piscine de champagne - red wine glass and ice 😮
Whattttttt
Loving this channel and as for flutes, I’m glad mine are stemless as they will be water glasses from now on. No more flutes!
Awesome mate! Appreciate this comment so much 🥂
I want to buy a few editions of Krug to try them out. Could you rank 167-172 editions in your opinion legends?
Big ask! I’ll message the boss (Carlos)
@@GotSomme awesome
