KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE: EVERY YEAR, A NEW ÉDITION
OF THE FOUNDER’S DREAM
KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE 169ÈME ÉDITION
THE 169TH EDITION OF THE MOST GENEROUS EXPRESSION OF CHAMPAGNE
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.
TASTING NOTES:
? A light golden colour and fine, vivacious
bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure.
? Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and
citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and
gingerbread.
? Grilled notes and flavours of almond paste,
quince, lemon, limoncello and dried fruit.
KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE 169ÈME ÉDITION IN ESSENCE:
? It is a blend of 146 wines from 11 different years, the youngest of
which is from 2013, while the oldest dates back to 2000.
? Its final composition is 43% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 22%
Meunier.
? A stay of around seven years in Krug’s cellars gives
Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition its distinct expression and
elegance.
KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE IS UNIQUE:
? Krug Grande Cuvée is the first and, as yet, unique Prestige
Champagne re-created every year, beyond the notion of vintage.
? The art of blending wines from so many different years gives
Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas,
impossible to express with the wines of just a single year.
? The Édition number identifies a specific creation of
Krug Grande Cuvée. It corresponds to the number of years in the
House of Krug the founder’s dream has been re-created.
? The full story of every Édition is revealed online via its Krug iD, the
six digits on the back label.
