€79000
Tax included, shipping and discounts calculated at checkout.

Krug Grande Cuvee 170th Edition is built around the 2014 harvest and is a blend of 195 wines from 12 vintages (1998-2014). The champagne consists of 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier, with around 45% reserve wines providing the signature depth and complexity of the Krug style. Each plot is vinified separately, and after blending the champagne is aged for about seven years on the lees, acquiring a multi-layered aroma, creamy texture and exceptional elegance. Each release of Krug Grande Cuvee has its own Edition number rather than a vintage, since every new version is considered an independent cuvee with a unique composition and character.

  • Compatibility

    It pairs perfectly with oysters, scallops, langoustines and caviar, and superbly accompanies truffle dishes, porcini risotto, roast poultry and veal in a cream sauce. Thanks to its depth and complexity, the champagne is equally appropriate as an aperitif and throughout an entire gastronomic dinner.

  • Color

    Deep pale golden colour with a fine, persistent perlage.

  • Scent

    The multi-layered, expressive nose opens with shades of white flowers, ripe citrus, apple, pear and dried fruit. With aeration, notes of marzipan, gingerbread, roasted hazelnut, almond, brioche, honey and fine spice nuances appear.

  • Taste

    A full-bodied, perfectly balanced champagne with a creamy texture, lively acidity and exceptional depth. On the palate, shades of citrus, ripe stone fruit, roasted hazelnut, almond, buttery pastry and honey intertwine. The long finish is distinguished by fine minerality, noble freshness and impeccable harmony.

James Suckling

This is full-bodied and very rich with lots of dried and fresh lemons with lemon curd and delicate Italian croissant. Fine and flavorful. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator

A lovely, mouthwatering Champagne, with a vivid and finely detailed panoply of baked nectarine, lime blossom, ground coffee, mandarin orange peel, candied ginger and salted almond notes set in a lithe, limber frame. Seamlessly knit, with a sense of buoyant vitality, this has a harmonious, elegant frame for the richly expressive flavor range. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier.
