On the palate, it is broad and rounded yet lively, with a dense, vinous texture balanced by freshness and chalky minerality. The finish is persistent, structured and complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 166ème Édition blends 140 wines from 13 harvests spanning 1998 to 2010, with 2010 as the dominant year.

Serve well chilled but not icy, around 10–12°C, to let the aromas unfold. Decanting is not usually necessary; pouring into a generous Champagne glass and allowing it a few minutes to open is a good approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the house is known for making Champagne around the idea of blending wines from different plots and years to achieve depth and complexity.
