VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE FOR FIRST

頭等艙供應上佳年份的香檳

THIS MONTH, CATHAY Pacific is introducing a rotating programme of the finest vintage champagnes for its First Class passengers, starting with the premium Krug 2004.

In addition to the vintage Krug 2004, the selection includes the 2006 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, the 2007 William Deutz Cuvee and the 2002 Piper Heidsieck Rare.

This month, the Krug 2004 will be featured on routes to Boston, Paris, Frankfurt, New York, London Heathrow, Chicago and Vancouver with additional routes to follow later in the year.

The Krug 2004 vintage was born out of an exceptional grape- growing season in the northern French region of Champagne. That year produced Krug 2004, a special champagne with ‘luminous freshness’, according to the label. Made from chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier grapes from a single season, the champagne has delicate citrus notes, with a balanced and vibrant finish. Krug calls the champagne ‘highly expressive, bright, undeniably elegant and discreet’ – much like the Cathay Pacific First Class experience.

國泰航空本月推出全新高級香檳輪替供應服務，為頭等艙乘客奉上多款年份特佳的上乘香檳，首先推出的是2004年Krug香檳。

除了2004年Krug香檳之外，我們還精選了2006年Taittinger Comtes de Champagne香檳、2007年William Deutz Cuvee香檳以及2002年Piper Heidsieck Rare香檳，將於頭等艙輪流供應。

本月飛往波士頓、巴黎、法蘭克福、紐約、倫敦希斯路機場、芝加哥和溫哥華的頭等艙乘客，均可嚐到2004年Krug香檳的滋味。本年稍後其他航線的頭等艙乘客亦將陸續獲得相同的享受。

2004年Krug香檳以法國北部香檳區最佳氣候栽種出的葡萄釀製，根據品牌形容，這款香檳口味「清爽突出」，非常難得。這款香檳採用單一季節出產的chardonnay、pinot noir和pinot meunier葡萄釀製，散發細膩馥郁的柑橘果香，餘韻鮮活平衡，Krug形容這款香檳「個性鮮明活潑，蘊藏優雅細緻的氣息」──一如在國泰航空頭等艙的體驗。
