Grande Cuvée is the very heart of the House of Krug. The 170th Edition perfectly illustrates this unique vision: to recreate each year the most generous expression of Champagne through a meticulous blend of wines from multiple plots and several different years.

Blend and Winemaking

Krug Grande Cuvée 170th Edition is crafted from an extraordinary blend of more than 120 wines sourced from around ten different vintages, with the oldest dating back over 15 years. The three Champagne grape varieties are brought together in masterful balance:

• Pinot Noir – structure, depth and intensity
• Chardonnay – freshness, elegance and precision
• Pinot Meunier – roundness and generosity

Extended ageing in the cellars allows this Champagne to reach exceptional complexity and harmony, the unmistakable signature of the House of Krug.
