Krug Grande Cuvee 164 750mL

Krug Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2008 and shows the House’s pursuit of breadth and roundness through a complex multi-vintage blend. The final cuvée brings together 127 wines from 11 different years, with reserve wines supplying much of its signature depth.

From the Producer

Krug Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition was composed around the 2008 harvest and blends 127 wines from 11 different years — the youngest from 2008, the oldest from 1990 — with reserve wines making up 32% of the final blend (48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 17% Meunier). Cellar master Julie Cavil selected wines from the Montagne de Reims Sud for freshness and from the Côte des Blancs for spice and warmth to shape this Édition. Source: krug.com.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, with marzipan and gingerbread.
• Palate: Hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.
• Finish: Layered and expansive, carried by mature breadth rather than a short, sharp finish.

Best For

Luxury aperitif service, Champagne collectors and pairings where layered texture matters as much as freshness.
