Krug Grande Cuvee NV (170 Edition)

Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of Joseph Krug to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of annual variations in climate. 

Each year, Maison Krug honours his vision with a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of Champagne.

Beyond the notion of vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée is always a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years, expressing a fullness of flavours and aromas impossible to achieve with the wines of a single year.

Composed around the harvest of 2014, Krug Grande Cuvée 170 Edition is a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years. The youngest is from the year 2014 and the oldest dates back to 1998.

In all, reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 45% of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to each Edition of Krug Grande Cuvée.

The final composition of this champagne is 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier.

In all, over 20 years of careful craftsmanship were necessary to enjoy Krug Grande Cuvée 170 Edition.
