Krug Grande Cuvee 167 375mL

Krug Grande Cuvée 167ème Édition is the 167th creation of Krug's multi-vintage prestige Champagne — a blend of 191 wines from 13 vintages, with the 2011 harvest as its base, presented in 375mL half-bottle.

From the Producer

Krug was founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, who set out to make the finest Champagne each year regardless of climate. Krug Grande Cuvée is the House's flagship multi-vintage Champagne — not a non-vintage blend in the usual sense, but a unique composition released under a numbered Édition. Each Édition combines around 120–200 individual wines from at least 10–13 different vintages, including reserve wines drawn from the House's library of more than 400 reserve wines, and is aged for at least seven years on the lees before release. The 167ème Édition, released in 2019, blends 191 wines from 13 vintages spanning 1995 to 2011, with 58% from the 2011 base year and 42% from reserve wines. The final composition is 47% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier. Krug bottle-codes every release with a Krug ID on the back label so each individual bottle's blend can be traced via the Krug app or website.
