Krug ‘Grande Cuvée’, the 167th ‘edition’ is based around the 2011 vintage.The final composition was 47% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier and it spent seven years on its lees in the Krug cellars before disgorgement.

Cellar master Eric Lebel said: “In this 167th Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée, we have crafted the fullest expression of Champagne with 191 different wines. 
“I selected some wines from behind the Montagne de Reims Nord, in Mareuil-sur-Ay, for their surprisingly beautiful, ample and fruity expressions, to which I added Pinot Noir wines from Ambonnay, Ay and Bouzy which I chose for their structure.Some of the older wines came from plots in Verzenay, to bring finesse and mature elegance. I looked to certain plots in Sainte-Gemme for the fruit expression of their Meuniers and, finally, some plots in Côte des Blancs, Chouilly and Oger for the character and body of their Chardonnays.”
Edition (blend) 167 is 47% pinot noir, 36% chardonnay and 17% meunier created from 191 components over 13 vintages. Reserve wines provided 42% of the wine, with the focus on chardonnay. Krug is my favourite champagne, richly succulent, with nougat, hazlenuts, dried and fresh fruits, honey and a drawstring of citrus.
