Champagne Krug

Grande Cuvée 174ème Édition

The Champagne Grande Cuvée by the 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 Vintage. The vision conceived by Joseph Krug in the nineteenth century takes shape in a blend able to go beyond the limits of a single year, drawing on a vast library of wines kept year after year to deliver an aromatic fullness and depth that would otherwise be impossible.

This 174ème Édition is based on the 2018 harvest, an early harvest that, after a rainy winter and a hot, dry summer, yielded healthy grapes and bunches of record weight. The blend brings together 143 wines from ten different years, from 2018 back to 2001, with vin de réserve accounting for 36%, under the guidance of chef de cave Julie Cavil. Vinification and fermentation take place plot by plot in small oak casks, after tirage comes an ageing on the lees of more than seven years, and a final dosage of 5 g/l, in Brut style, completes a taut and vibrant profile.

On tasting, Grande Cuvée 174ème Édition shows an intense, luminous golden hue, with a broad, toasty nose where dried fruit meets light smoky nuances, mandarin and candied citrus notes. On the palate it is inviting and lively, with vivid mandarin and citrus flavours supported by chocolate, beeswax and fruit preserves, while a harmonious, generous and rich structure, always accompanied by a lovely freshness, leads to a long persistence and an elegant, slightly bitter finish.

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.
