Weekend <strong>Times</strong> 6 Krug Grande Cuvée Krug is a Champagne house created by a German immigrant more than 200 years ago. the Krug family is still heavily involved although the brand is property of LVmh since 1999. Grande Cuvée is a mix of 35- 50% reserve wines with more recent vintages. although its price places it in the special wines of other houses, Krug is in a league of its own. Best matches for this wine would be cold lobster, mild savoury dishes, oysters and shell fish as well as mild fresh cheeses such as Camembert, Brie and mozzarella. serve chilled at 8 to 10 degrees. Choristers perform in front of Westminster Abbey’s Christmas tree in Westminster, London venison. Christmas being at the end of the hunting season, these meats are still available and because of their rich flavour represent a very good middle menu feature. at the end came the desserts but only after cheeses. the next question is: what kind of wine is the best match for all these rich foods? With colleagues from the institute for tourism studies, we sat down around a Christmas set menu and tried to pair the items with what is in our opinion the best wine: Champagne. On offer were three excellent ones: Krug Grande Cuvée, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin 2002 and Dom Perignon 2002. these three wines were exceptional but the one that matched all dishes was the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin 2002.

When it comes from an excellent vineyard and in a year with exceptional climatic conditions, the result is a very different wine with perhaps some residual sugar, a wide array of flavours and a much heavier

With fresh almonds, lemon peel and zest accompanied by dried fruits and toasted brioche, this wine explodes on the nose as much as in the mouth by its power, elegance and finesse. the palate, very concentrated and creamy with still the perfect acidity places this wine in the league of best match with a wide array of dishes. it paired best with the turkey on the menu but would do well with flavourful and even spicy dishes. Drink at 10 degrees. 7
