Krug Grande Cuvee 163 750mL

Composed around the 2007 harvest, Krug Grande Cuvée 163ème Édition is a blend of 145 wines from 12 different years, created to deliver the breadth, freshness and layered richness that define the house style.

From the Producer

Krug Grande Cuvée traces back to founder Joseph Krug's vision of a champagne assembled every year to the same exacting standard rather than tied to a single vintage. The 163ème Édition was composed around the 2007 harvest and blends 145 wines from 12 different years — the youngest from 2007, the oldest from 1990 — with reserve wines from the House's library making up 27% of the final blend (37% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, 31% Meunier). Krug cellar master Julie Cavil singled out plots in Villers-Marmery, Trépail, Mareuil and Ambonnay as the foremost contributors to this Édition. Source: krug.com.
