While this wasn&#8217;t my favorite Champagne to date, Krug knows their stuff and sadly, prices their wines appropriately. I got more flavors out of this than any other champagne ever. toffee, pears, baked apples, earthy mulch but yet the grapes still really shine. I&#8217;d love to have this again despite the price tag but maybe in France, I can find a few bottles for cheaper and bring them back to enjoy on special occasions with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Grab this one if you dare but I still prefer Dom P for the price range.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Krug Grand Cuvee Champagne&#039;
