The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine One of the most renowned addresses of the Champagne region, Krug is a true icon that produces only the most prestigious wines, such as its Grande Cuvée. Now numbered, it embodies the spirit of the House and is a skillful blend of several dozen wines from complementary vintages, which are then further aged for a minimum of seven years. 

With exceptional reserve wines marked by meticulous barrel maturation, this prestigious brand will delight wine lovers everywhere. The coherence of each vintage and the accuracy of the wines produced, always with great regularity, was rewarded this year with a 4th star in the Guide Vert RVF, the most prestigious award possible.
Wine A masterpiece, true to its inimitable style, the Champagne Krug Grande Cuvée 170th edition is a tremendous success. Conceived on the basis of the 2014 harvest, this champagne comes alive with beautiful tension, with flavors of dried and ripe fruits, cereals, and wheat. Delicate and chiseled, it is an extremely elegant version of the Grande Cuvée, as irresistible as ever, a great champagne with a long and sapid finish. Rated 95/100 RVF and 95/100 Parker.
Vinification Made up of 195 wines from twelve different years with the oldest from 1998 and the youngest from 2014. The bottles have rested for about 7 years in the cellar.
