krug grande cuvée 170 ieme edition
Reference: 102881Stock: 10 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"krug grande cuvée was born out of one man's dream, joseph krug, to make the best champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of the year's weather variations. since 1843, the house of krug has honoured this vision with each new edition of krug grande cuvée: the most generous expression of champagne. it is a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years, the youngest being from 2014, while the oldest dates from 1998. its final composition is 51% pinot noir, 38% chardonnay and 11% meunier. a visit to krug's cellars for around seven years gives this grande cuvée 170ème edition its distinctive expression and elegance. krug grande cuvée 170th edition was composed around the 2014 harvest, an erratic year in champagne that oscillated between hot, dry periods and cool rainy ones. vineyards developed in good condition, ensuring a generous harvest. the contrasting climate preserved freshness and resulted in great heterogeneity across the region, underlining the importance of the house's obsession with understanding each parcel through its wine. to create this edition, bodeguero sought to accentuate the elegantly diverse aromatic expressions of the year with a wide range of wines from different plots in 11 other years. in total, reserve wines from the house's extensive library made up 45% of the final blend, providing the amplitude and roundness essential for each edition of krug grande cuvée."
