The vineyards are primarily located in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, where the cool, chalk-rich soils help preserve freshness while imparting a signature mineral tension. These parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir benefit from excellent drainage and reflective light from the chalk, which helps grapes achieve ideal physiological maturity — crucial for crafting a zero-dosage Champagne. Only in vintages that deliver grapes of extraordinary ripeness and purity does Laurent-Perrier release Ultra Brut, ensuring that its balance is achieved entirely through terroir rather than sweetness.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Technical Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eFirst released in 1981, Ultra Brut was a groundbreaking style for its time, pioneering the modern “Brut Nature” category — Champagne without any added sugar after disgorgement. The cuvée is typically composed of 55 % Chardonnay and 45 % Pinot Noir, blended from multiple top crus. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to retain precision and purity, followed by a minimum of six years ageing on the lees to develop subtle complexity and texture. No dosage is added, leaving the wine with a total sugar level of less than 3 g\/L.

These new and upcoming releases are positively stellar. The flagship remains Grand Siècle, a NV blend of three vintages. For the first time since it was first released in 1959, the Grand Siècle is now identified by a specific numbered edition, which makes it possible to compare releases. That also means I am now comfortable reviewing the wine, as consumers know exactly what they are getting. Needless to say, it will be interesting to see where the market goes for Grand Siècle. Krug is an interesting case study, as the Grande Cuvée went from having inconsistent market presence and unstable pricing to a highly allocated Champagne, for the first time in its history, after the introduction of the Editions. In addition to these wines, I also tasted the current release of the entry-level NV Brut La Cuvée, the NV Cuvée Rosé (magnum) and the first edition of a new wine, the Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs, which is a blend of fruit from Cramant, Avize, Chouilly and Oiry. All are NV Champagnes with no disgorgement date, so, following my longstanding policy, I won’t review them here. Hopefully Laurent-Perrier will add this information (or some other unique identifier) in the future as the wines are really quite lovely.

The conceptual cornerstone of the Grande Cuvée is the use of the house’s vast library—drawing from some 500 options—to complement the base vintage and moderate the extremes of any given growing season.

Compared with its immediate predecessor, the 173ème Édition is broader and more giving, while the 172ème Édition tauter and more incisive. As experienced Krug aficionados will recognize, the inclusion of reserve wines—which may have undergone malolactic fermentation—renders the Grande Cuvée more immediately approachable than the house’s vintage-dated Champagnes, offering a more generous drinking experience on release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAs seasoned enthusiasts will know, following a brief period in tanks after the must is received, fermentation takes place in oak barrels.

New barrels—sourced from Tonnellerie Taransaud and from Seguin Moreau—are conditioned with water and second-press juice fractions for the first three years before being used for wines destined for the final cuvées.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter approximately three months in oak, the wines are racked—typically between December and February—into an extensive array of small stainless steel tanks, where élevage continues on the fine lees. The time spent in tank varies widely: wines selected for vintage-dated cuvées may spend as little as four months, while reserve wines can mature for up to 16 years, depending on their role in future blends. In the past, though, wines spent longer in barrel, as after fermentation, Krug’s vins clairs were racked and returned to oak until bottling. However, with Eric Lebel’s arrival, the practice shifted—base wines were no longer reintroduced to barrel but instead were moved to stainless steel for maturation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSulfur dioxide is used sparingly—mainly during pressing and at disgorgement. Malolactic fermentation is generally avoided in vintage wines but tends to occur in reserve wines. This marks a key distinction: vintage-dated cuvées, unlike the Grande Cuvée and Rosé, typically forgo malolactic fermentation altogether, lending them more pronounced acid profiles and enhancing their lemon-inflected finishes.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eKrug has recently unveiled the 173rd Edition of its Grande Cuvée—which typically accounts for about 80% of the house’s total production—alongside the 29th Edition of its Rosé. The conceptual cornerstone of the Grande Cuvée is the use of the house’s vast library—drawing from some 500 options—to complement the base vintage. Following intensive tastings, Grande Cuvée typically incorporates between 150 and 200 individual wines from up to 16 different vintages. The 173rd Edition, for example, comprises 150 wines spanning 13 vintages as far back as 2001, with the base vintage—2017—constituting 69% of the final blend. To moderate the extremes of any given growing season, rich vintages are typically tempered by racier, more acid-driven reserve wines, while leaner years are bolstered by richer reserves. This layered complexity and inclusion of reserve wines that may have undergone malolactic fermentation make Grande Cuvée more approachable upon release—broader and more generous in profile compared to Krug's vintage-dated Champagnes. The 29th Edition of Rosé, meanwhile, blends 29 wines from five distinct harvests, and like the Grande Cuvée, each component is selected by Krug’s tasting committee through blind tastings. Further details on both are provided in the accompanying tasting notes, though one point remains unequivocal: for years, these have been among Champagne’s most age-worthy wines, despite not necessarily being drawn from a single vintage. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviewed by: \u003c\/b\u003eKristaps Karklins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerroir\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eKrug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is not a single-vintage expression, but rather a mosaic of Champagne’s most distinguished terroirs, woven together to create a wine that transcends any one growing season.

His Champagnes, crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown in the villages of Écueil and Villers-aux-Noeuds, have rapidly become some of the most talked-about, largely owing to his limited-production, single-vineyard cuvées.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first vintage that Frédéric, a third-generation grower, participated in was 1994, working alongside his father. However, it was in 2003 that he decided to leave behind a fledgling career as a professional footballer to return to the domaine and assume control of the estate. Almost immediately, he transformed the estate’s viticultural practices, adopting organic methods by eliminating the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. He also introduced barrel aging, drawing inspiration from Burgundy wines and citing Domaine d'Auvenay as a key influence. The pivotal year for shaping the range we know today was 2012, when Savart began utilizing the press of his neighbor, Nicolas Maillart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, Savart cultivates 4.5 hectares of vines and supplements his production with significant quantities of purchased fruit. His farming practices adhere to organic principles, with the exception of a treatment used to control mildew. “I like new wood and the reductive qualities that come from aging on solids,” Savart admits. His vins clairs undergo fermentation in barrels of varying sizes, predominantly between 350 and 600 liters, with a substantial percentage of new oak, primarily sourced from Cavin, Tremeaux and Atelier Centre France. He also experiments with aging some of his small cuvées in glass Wineglobes. Reserve wines are stored in tanks along with their fine lees. All wines spend 10 months sur lie, and all vintage cuvées are aged under cork rather than cap. Sulfites are used sparingly, only during pressing, and dosage is kept to a minimum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSavart’s portfolio is constantly evolving, but the heart of his production lies in his single-vineyard bottlings, which typically reach their zenith with the Blanc de Blancs Le Mont des Chrétiens, Le Mont Benoit and Blanc de Noirs Les Noues. He also produces village-level cuvées from Écueil, such as Expression and Expression Rosé, along with several wines made from purchased fruit, including his interpretation of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (Haute Couture) and Les Mesneux (La Moufle). The latest addition to his range is Les Gillis, another lieu-dit expression from Écueil but aged entirely in new wood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Champagnes are incisive and intense, crafted with immense ambition.

This exceptional champagne emerges from five carefully selected parcels, totaling two hectares of vineyard land planted between 1951 and 1987 on slopes of remarkable southeastern exposure, where pristine white chalk lies tantalizingly close to the surface—a geological gift that imparts distinctive mineral character to every bottle. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this vintage showcases the winemaker's commitment to purity and precision. The fruit undergoes thoughtful vinification across both oak and stainless steel vessels, followed by malolactic fermentation that adds complexity and textural richness. The minimal dosage—applied with restraint or omitted entirely—allows the wine's natural character to shine brilliantly, delivering a bone-dry, savory profile that speaks to the chalky minerality of its origin. Upon tasting, expect to discover captivating notes of lemon, pear, and distinctive chalk minerality in its youthful expression. With time, this wine evolves gracefully, developing sophisticated layers of bergamot, delicate herbal infusions, candied citrus, and ethereal meringue. The powerful yet refined texture provides an elegant framework, making this a champagne of remarkable longevity and contemplative depth—a true collector's choice for those who appreciate the finest expressions of Grand Cru Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Fermented and aged in traditional oak casks (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem class=\"eujQNb\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003etonneaux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e) to add vinous texture while preserving vertical acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Fully completed, softening the aggressive young edges and accentuating creaminess and savory depth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eAging \u0026amp; Dosage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Bottled without fining or filtering, aged under natural cork prior to disgorgement, and finished as an Extra Brut \/ zero-to-low dosage style to highlight absolute purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Piercing lime peel, crisp green pear, and lemon curd interwoven with wet chalk, oyster shell, subtle smoke, and toasted brioche.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Taut, electric acidity with a creamy, expansive mid-palate texture.

Cramant Grand Cru 2021 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cazé-Thibaut Cramant Grand Cru 2021 represents the pinnacle of artisanal Champagne craftsmanship, born from ten generations of viticultural heritage. Fabien Cazé's meticulous vision culminates in this exceptional Blanc de Blancs, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the legendary chalky terroirs of Cramant, one of the Côte des Blancs' most revered Grand Cru villages. This distinguished cuvée spends an impressive 42 months aging on its lees, developing remarkable complexity and refinement. Presented as a Brut Nature with zero dosage, it delivers an uncompromising expression of pure minerality—a testament to Cazé's organic farming philosophy and commitment to letting the terroir speak without manipulation. Expect a symphony of delicate sensations: fine, persistent bubbles that dance across the palate, vibrant citrus notes intertwined with flinty minerality, and an elegant tension that speaks to the chalk-rich soils of its origin. The wine's precision and purity reflect both the village's storied reputation and Fabien's admission to the exclusive Terres et Vins de Champagne collective—an honor achieved alongside legendary producers like Bérêche and Marie Courtin. A sophisticated choice for those who appreciate uncompromising quality and the authentic expression of Champagne's greatest terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Pale gold color with fine, steady bubbles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Notes of wet chalk, flint, fresh citrus zest, and delicate white flowers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yADgie\"\u003e Bone-dry and linear with high energy, persistent salty minerality, and crisp orchard fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eProducer:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted by Fabéin Cazé representing ten generations of growers.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eFarming:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic vineyards utilizing low-intervention methods.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eVinification:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-picked grapes pressed gently, gravity-fed to steel, and slow-fermented in oak barrels using indigenous yeasts.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eAging:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Extended time on lees lasting 42 to 54 months depending on the vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95 NOp1Jf\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prism Fine Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46549997289668,"sku":"AD65091","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/8635\/9236\/files\/Caze-ThibautCramantGrandCru2021750ml.jpg?v=1787863688"},{"product_id":"elemart-robion-vb03-brut-nature-750ml","title":"Elemart Robion 'VB03' Brut Nature NV 750ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eOverview \u0026amp;
