KRUG Grande Cuvée 166 ème édition - Magnum - Coffret
Krug is a Champagne house that was created by Joseph Krug in 1843, a native of the Mosel region in Germany. The house has been in the Krug family for 6 generations and is known today as one of the most collectible and expensive Champagne. Joseph Krug worked along Jacquesson when he moved to France and he began to craft a premium wine from a reserve of wines vinified separately that would eventually become the Grande Cuvée. Krug is a blend of 120 different wines from 10 or more vintages coming from the “Krug Library”. Every year, the cellarmaster heads a tasting committee who decide on the final blend. Krug Vintage is only produced in the best years.
Krug Grande Cuvée 166th Edition is a blend of Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (39%) and Pinot Meunier (16%). This magnum aged for at least 8 years in Krug's cellar before being bottled in summer 2018.
