In a few words ...
Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is a blend of 146 wines from 11 different years, the youngest from 2016 and the oldest from 1998. A stay of around seven years in our cellars gives it its distinctive expression and elegance. All in all, more than 20 years of painstaking work have gone into appreciating this Edition of Krug Grande Cuvée. Krug Grande Cuvée 172nd Edition is a cuvée composed around the 2016 harvest, a year with weather conditions so contrasting that they became a caricature of the climatic pendulum. An extremely wet spring, with 70% more rainfall than the norm for the period between April and June, made working the vines difficult and increased the risk of disease spreading. Mild weather set in from flowering, allowing the vineyards to recover, followed by a heatwave at the end of ripening. The marathon harvest from September 9 to October 2 produced healthy grapes and wines of expression and character, irrespective of grape variety and origin.
