Champagne Krug

Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition

The Champagne Krug Grande Cuvée represents the highest expression of the Krug philosophy, founded on craftsmanship and know-how: a blend of 120 wines from over ten different vintages. Its extraordinary finesse is due to resting for at least six years in the cellars. It takes over twenty years to make a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée: the first Cuvée de Prestige recreated every year, and which goes beyond the concept of vintage.

This bottle left the Krug cellars and received its cork in the spring of 2021. It is the last stage, after more than 7 years of aging in the cellars to gain refinement and elegance.

This bottle, Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition, is an extraodinary assemblage of 195 wines from 12 different vintages, the oldest of which is from the vintage 1998 and the youngest from 2014. To complete the wines, the Maison made use of its wide range of vin de réserve, making a careful selection among them that make up 45% of the final assembly. Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition was composed around the 2014 harvest – a very unpredictable vintage in which very hot and cool periods alternated, contrasts that beautifully expressed the unique characters of the Maison’s wide range of plots.
