Product Reviews
Critics Review
Krug Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition was composed around the
harvest of 2008, a year of extremes that defied all predictions.
The challenge was to look with fresh eyes at what each individual plots of vines could give. The early harvest revealed grapes with powerful aromas and discreet flavours. Lesser-known plots proved
to be the foremost contributors to this singular creation.
In all, reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 32% of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée.Krug Grande Cuvée is the first and unique Prestige Champagne re-created every year, beyond the notion of vintage.
The art of blending wines from so many different years gives Krug Grande Cuvée its unique fullness of flavours and aromas, impossible to express with the wines of just a single year.
The Édition number corresponds to the number of times in the House of Krug the founder’s dream has been re-created. It also serves as a reference for collectors, to enjoy it later.
The full story of every Édition is revealed online via its Krug iD, the six digits on the back label.
Krug Grande Cuvée, like all Krug Champagnes, will continue to gain with the passage of time.
