Composed around the harvest of 2013, Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition is a blend of 146 wines from 11 different years. The youngest is from the year 2013 and the oldest dates back to 2000. In all, reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 40% of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée.
Over 20 years of careful craftsmanship were necessary to enjoy Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition.
The final composition of this champagne is 43% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 22% Meunier.
A real wake-up call! Sleek and fresh and truly spring-like with a light yeasty note on the very long finish. The most pleasure to be had initially is in the nose and the finish. The palate is still a bit of shock. This should have a long life.

In Champagne, where tradition often bows to the calendar, Krug chose a different master: vision. Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the House was built on a radical belief for its time — that true greatness could be achieved not by the declaration of a single year, but by the art of composition itself.
