Krug Grande Cuvée is one of Champagne’s great wines, with a richness, breadth and complexity that few others can match. I’m delighted to offer you the chance to reserve the new 174ème Édition.
Order by midday, Monday 19th October
As ever with Krug, the numbers are rather extraordinary. Built around the excellent 2018 harvest, this is a blend of 143 wines from ten different years, the oldest from 2001, with reserve wines making up 36% of the final blend. Pinot noir leads at 54%, alongside 29% chardonnay and 17% pinot meunier.
The174ème Édition is already wonderfully expressive (but has the form to age), with toasted brioche, dried fruit and plenty of citrus, with rich notes of pastry and a lovely savoury freshness on the finish.
