Each year, Krug honours the spirit of individuality by paying homage to a Single Ingredient, inviting its Krug Ambassade Chefs to create original recipes to be paired with paired with the latest edition releases.
The 10th chosen Single Ingredient — Flowers —represents unparalleled elegance and diversity, reflecting the multifaceted nature of Krug’s champagnes. Other ingredients have included potatoes, mushrooms and rice.
The floral creations are matched with: Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition which has an elegant and aromatic nose of white flowers, lavender and almond. The palate is delicate and intense with white fruits and citrus notes. And Krug Rosé 28ème Édition with aromas of orangeade, redcurrant, cherry pit and raspberry jelly. On the palate are bold red fruits like raspberry, red currant, cherry, blackcurrant, cranberry and goji berry.
