About Krug Grande Cuvée 169th Edition Brut Champagne

Joseph Krug was a visionary with a keen understanding of the essence of Champagne. He had a vision of an uncompromising Champagne that would showcase the best each year could offer, regardless of the climate variations. Delving deep into what makes each plot and vineyard tick, he started building an extensive library of reserve wines. Krug was established in 1843 with Joseph pouring his visionary philosophy into each bottle. Under the guidance of his son Paul, the House was established as a grande marque.

6 generations later, the Champagne House is owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, yet the Krug family continues to be involved in all the key decisions, driving the operation forward and following in the footsteps of its founder. Today, the Champagne House produces its flagship Grande Cuvée, along with a Rosé, and several vintage wines, utilizing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier varietals. The House owns 30% of the vineyards that are used in the production of its wines.

Krug Grande Cuvée 169th Edition Brut Champagne is their flagship wine. It’s a blend of 146 wines from 11 vintages that range from 2013 to 2000.

About Champagne

Champagne has been associated with royalties since the 17th century, still maintaining its glorious reputation.

The French take Champagne seriously, so coming from the Champagne region of France isn’t the only requirement that keeps this drink from being “just sparkling wine.” The rules of the appellation require specific vineyard practices, particular types of grapes, specific pressing methods, and secondary fermentation of wine.
