NV Krug Grande Cuvée 170èmé Édition Brut

A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. Grilled notes and flavours of almond paste, quince, lemon, limoncello and dried fruit.

Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of one man, Joseph Krug, to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate. Since 1843, the House of Krug has honoured this vision with each new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of Champagne.

Krug Grande Cuvée is re-created every year, beyond the notion of vintage and is a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years. The fullness or flavours and aromas achieved by this careful art of blending would be impossible to express with the wines of a single year.

It is a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years, the youngest of
which is from 2014, while the oldest dates back to 1998.
Its final composition is 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11%
Meunier.

A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives
Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition its distinct expression and
elegance. 

The art of blending wines from so many different years gives
Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas,
impossible to express with the wines of just a single year.
 

The Édition number identifies a specific creation of
Krug Grande Cuvée. It corresponds to the number of years in the
House of Krug the founder’s dream has been re-created.
 

The full story of every Édition is revealed online via its Krug iD, the
six digits on the back label.
 

Krug Grande Cuvée, like all Krug Champagnes, will continue to gain
with the passage of time.
