Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of one man, Joseph Krug, to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate Since 1843 the House of Krug has honoured this vision with each new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée the most generous expression of Champagne. Grande Cuvée 169 ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2013 a year that beautifully expressed the unique characters of some of the House's iconic plots.
