Krug Grande Cuvée 166ème Édition is a prestige non-vintage Champagne built for texture, complexity and depth rather than simple freshness. It is a reliable luxury bottle for celebrations, premium gifting and customers who want a serious house Champagne
From the Producer
Krug Grande Cuvée 166ème Édition was composed around the 2010 harvest and blends 140 wines from 13 different years — the youngest from 2010, the oldest from 1998 — with reserve wines making up 42% of the final blend (45% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay, 16% Meunier). Cellar master Julie Cavil drew on vivacious 2010 Meunier from Sainte-Gemme and Courmas, balanced by reserve Chardonnay from Oger dating to 2000 and Pinot Noir from Verzy and Bouzy dating to 2006.
