Recipes such as Cocoa Pigeon and Piquillo Condiment; Risotto with Juniper, Red Prawns and BBQ; are accompanied by paring notes to specific editions of Krug Grande Cuv?e and Krug Ros?. Texts by Alice Cavanagh also delve into ten themes around Krug, from the ten champagne myths to ten tasting notes and the lifestyle code of the Champagne region. A fresh look into one of France's most celebrated estates, this exquisite book is bound to appeal to Krug lovers and champagne enthusiasts everywhere.
