Champagne KRUG Grande Cuvée Edition 171

Maison History

Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, Maison Krug stands as one of the most prestigious Champagne houses, dedicated to crafting exceptional Champagnes with remarkable depth and complexity. Known for its unique philosophy of blending a large selection of reserve wines across many vintages, Krug’s Grande Cuvée embodies the vision of offering the fullest expression of Champagne, year after year, beyond the constraints of a single vintage.

Terroir

Krug sources its grapes from some of the finest vineyards across the Champagne region, with a focus on Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites. The diversity of terroirs and reserve wines — some aged over 15 years — contributes to the complexity, richness, and elegance of the Grande Cuvée.

Tasting Notes

Golden color with fine, lively bubbles. The bouquet reveals aromas of hazelnuts, nougat, toasted bread, and citrus zest. On the palate, it is rich and complex, with flavors of fresh almonds, brioche, honey, and delicate floral notes, leading to a long, harmonious finish with vibrant freshness.

A masterpiece of blending, Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 171 delivers extraordinary complexity, elegance, and generosity — the essence of Krug craftsmanship.

Pairing

Perfect with oysters, scallops, lobster, aged Parmesan, or truffle-based dishes.
