Exceptional complexity, layered richness and remarkable freshness define the Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition, presented here in an impressive 1.5-litre magnum. Created around the 2014 harvest, this edition brings together 195 individual wines drawn from 12 different years. The youngest component comes from 2014, while the oldest reserve wine dates back to 1998. Reserve wines from Krug’s extensive library account for 45% of the final blend, contributing the breadth, roundness and depth central to the Grande Cuvée style. The composition comprises 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier. Pinot Noir provides structure and intensity, Chardonnay contributes fruit, freshness and finesse, while Meunier adds brightness and finely chiselled definition.
The 2014 growing season alternated between warm, dry periods and cooler, wetter conditions, resulting in significant variation across the Champagne region. Krug’s plot-by-plot approach allowed the cellar team to select wines with complementary qualities and preserve the individuality of each vineyard parcel. Dynamic Pinot Noirs from across Champagne were joined by full-bodied Chardonnays from the Montagne de Reims, Sézannais and Côte des Blancs. Reserve wines from distinguished sites, including Ambonnay, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, brought additional structure, generosity and complexity. The finished Champagne displays Krug’s characteristic combination of fine bubbles, ripe fruit, toasted richness and energetic freshness. Its generous palate unfolds through citrus, dried fruit, nuts, brioche, honey and delicate spice. The larger magnum format offers an elegant presentation for celebrations while supporting slow and harmonious development in bottle.
