Krug Champagne Description
Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of one man, Joseph Krug, to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate. Since 1843, the House of Krug has honoured this vision with each new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of Champagne.
Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition in Essence:
- It is a blend of 131 wines from 12 different years, the youngest of which is from 2015, while the oldest dates back to 2000.
- Its final composition is 45% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 18% Meunier.
- A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition its distinct expression and elegance.
Tasting Notes:
- A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure.

- Grilled notes and flavours of almond paste, quince, lemon, limoncello and dried fruit.
Food & Wine Pairing Inspiration:
- Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, from an aged parmesan to turbot à la truffe.
- It can be enjoyed as an aperitif with Jabugo ham and mature comté or served to accompany oysters, grilled shrimps, Indian or Moroccan food, as well as desserts such as carrot cake, tarte tatin and cheesecake.
Wine Enthusiast: 97 Points
"Deliciously balanced, this Champagne is impressive. The iconic wine is in its 171st blend, meaning it combines vintages for the best result for each bottling, not a specific vintage. The 171st essence is dry, while also having fine textured fruit. This is a magnificent wine and worth aging for another year." — Roger Voss
