Champagne Krug

Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition Magnum

The Champagne Grande Cuvée by Maison Krug embodies a rare philosophy, built on the idea that the highest expression of Champagne is born from time and patience, beyond the very concept of Millésime. The vision imagined by Joseph Krug in the nineteenth century takes shape in a blend capable of surpassing the limits of a single year, drawing on a vast library of wines preserved season after season to deliver an aromatic fullness and depth otherwise impossible to achieve.

This 170ème Édition, composed around the 2014 harvest, brings together 195 wines from twelve different vintages, reaching back from 2014 to 1998, with vin de réserve making up 45% of the total and a prevalence of Pinot Noir grapes at 51%, alongside 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier. Vinification and fermentation take place plot by plot in small oak casks, which through a slow micro-oxygenation build complexity and breadth, before more than eight years of ageing on the lees that bring refinement, amplitude and a remarkable capacity to evolve over time.

On the palate, Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition reveals a sumptuous balance in which the maturity gained over the years converses with a vibrant freshness that never yields, supported by a broad and enveloping structure. The texture is dense and finely chiselled, run through by a saline tension that lengthens its profile, while the persistence unfolds with extraordinary continuity, leaving a deep finish of rare composure that testifies to the complexity gathered through its long rest.

Krug

Maison Krug was founded in 1843 from the vision of Joseph Krug, a man guided by an uncompromising philosophy and by the conviction that the true essence of Champagne is pleasure itself. His dream was to offer the very best Champagne possible every year, regardless of climate variations, giving rise to the first Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée. In 1848 he committed his vision to a dark cherry notebook, beginning a tradition of transmission that has reached Olivier Krug, the sixth generation now at the helm of the Maison, and is interpreted by Cellar Master Julie Cavil.

The Maison is still based in Reims today, but its historic sites span the whole of Champagne, from the historic Family House, with its old cellars, to the iconic Clos that represent it. In 2024, after seven years of work, the new Joseph winery was inaugurated, built at the Clos d'Ambonnay. It is an entirely eco-designed facility, HQE certified with an "exceptional" rating, that brings together all winemaking activities in a single space, blending discreetly into the landscape. Here, tradition and contemporary energy coexist in perfect balance.

Krug's philosophy revolves around individuality, where each plot is harvested, pressed and vinified separately, without hierarchy, to capture the distinctive character of each terroir. Every year the Tasting Committee appraises around four hundred wines before the art of blending. The Maison is home to two walled Clos: the Clos du Mesnil, 1.84 hectares in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, known for the purity of its Chardonnay, and the Clos d'Ambonnay, 0.68 hectares, prized for the depth of its Pinot Noir. Two terroirs that well represent Krug's approach, where every plot gives life to a wine of unique character.
