      Description

      The 167th edition of Krug Grande Cuvée is a new interpretation of Krug's savoir-faire. Since 1843, Krug Grande Cuvée has embodied the champagne that the house's founder, Joseph Krug, wanted to offer his customers, so that they could enjoy the best that Champagne has to offer every year, regardless of the vagaries of the weather.

      This 167th edition brings together 191 different wines from the Krug vineyards, with vintages ranging from 1995 to 2011.

      The 2011 vintage is in the majority (58%) in this Grande Cuvée. It was an atypical year, with unseasonably high temperatures. The harvest was the second earliest since 1822.

      The 167th edition is a blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 17% Pinot Meunier. True to the Krug style, all wines are vinified and aged in oak barrels.

      After bottling, the 167th edition of La Grande Cuvée spent 7 years in the Reims cellars before being released on the market.

      The 167th edition of La Grande Cuvée has a deep gold color, with lively, fine bubbles.

      The nose reveals notes of dried fruit, citrus and ginger.

      The second nose reveals notes of nougat, hazelnut, brioche and honey.

      The 167th edition of La Grande Cuvée Krug lends itself beautifully to pairing with gourmet cuisine.

      The Krug ID

      Each bottle of Krug tells its own story. Thanks to the Krug ID, the 6-digit number on the back label of each bottle, Eric Lebel, our Cellar Master, tells what makes each cuvée special, from the challenges of the season to the details of its creation. The Krug ID also serves as a reference for storing bottles of Krug Champagne to be enjoyed at a later date, especially Krug Grande Cuvée which, like all Krug champagnes, ages beautifully.
