Krug Brut Grande Cuvée Edition 171eme

"The 2015 Chardonnays and Meuniers were a bit reserved, so we turned to cooler years from our wine library reserves, including the 2008, 2013, and 2014 harvests, to bring vibrancy and tension to the blend. In this Krug Grande Cuvée Edition, you'll also find Chardonnays from warmer, more unpredictable years like 2000 and 2006, which contribute body and a toasty character. The exceptional 2015 Pinot Noirs were complemented by around thirty other expressions to bring generosity, spice, and structure. Finally, the Meuniers were selected from four different vintages to add distinctive quality and diversity to the final blend." Julie Cavil, Cellar Master of Maison Krug

Created around the 2015 harvest, Krug Grande Cuvée 171st Edition is a blend of 131 wines from 12 different years, the youngest dating from 2015 and the oldest from 2000.
