Krug Grande Cuvée 170th Edition is a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years, from 1998 to 2014. It is the art of blending from many different years that gives Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas. Something that would be impossible to create with wines of just a single year. Ageing for around seven years in Krug's cellars gives Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition its distinct expression and elegance.
The Édition number identifies a specific creation of Krug Grande Cuvée. It corresponds to the number of years since Krug Grande Cuvée NV Champagne was first released. The story of every Édition is revealed online via its Krug iD, the six digits on the back label. Like all Krug Champagnes, Krug Grande Cuvée will continue to gain complexity with the passage of time.
