    Overview

    Krug Grande Cuvée 174ème Édition


    The most generous expression of Champagne.

    Crafted around a beautiful harvest marked by few challenges, this Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée came together quite naturally.
    Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

    Tasting Notes:
    Intense gold. Expressive toasted aromas with notes of dried fruit, light smoky nuances, mandarin and candied citrus.

    Mouthwatering, with vibrant hints of tangerine and citrus underscored by notes of chocolate, beeswax and fruit confection. A harmonious, generous and rich mouthfeel gives way to an elegant, slightly bitter finish.

    Food Pairings:
    With outstanding freshness, Krug Grande Cuvée lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, with aperitif or meals.

    It pairs beautifully with simple pleasures like Jabugo ham and mature Comté, or asparagus roasted with garlic butter. Gastronomic options include Moroccan hake chermoula or tarte tatin.

    Winemaking:
    Composed around the harvest of 2018, Krug Grande Cuvée 174ème Édition is a blend of 143 wines from 10 different years. The youngest is from the year 2018 and the oldest dates back to 2001.

    In all, reserve wines from the Maison's extensive library make up 36% of the final blend, bringing the concentration, complexity and roundness so essential to each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée.

    The final composition of this champagne is 54% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier.

    In all, over 20 years of careful craftsmanship were necessary to enjoy Krug Grande Cuvée 174ème Édition.

    Background Information:
    Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of Joseph Krug to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of annual variations in climate. 

    Each year, Maison Krug honours his vision with a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of Champagne.

    Beyond the notion of vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée is always a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years, expressing a fullness of flavours and aromas impossible to achieve with the wines of a single year.
