Krug Grande Cuvee 169 375mL

Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition in half-bottle format offers the house’s flagship multi-vintage style in a size that suits intimate luxury service. It is a smart choice for buyers who want Krug’s depth and complexity without moving to full bottle or larger formats.

From the Producer

Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition was composed around the 2013 harvest and blends 146 wines from 11 different years — the youngest from 2013, the oldest from 2000 — with reserve wines making up 40% of the final blend (43% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 22% Meunier). Cellar master Julie Cavil drew on the House's oldest plots in Ambonnay and Ricey, where a fresh, pure Chardonnay year met powerful, long Pinot Noir and structuring Meunier. Source: krug.com.
