Krug Grande Cuvée 161ème Édition Magnum

Krug Grande Cuvée 161ème Édition Magnum is a magnificent expression of Krug’s signature art of blending: a Champagne built to transcend the limits of a single vintage and deliver depth, finesse, and consistency at the highest level. Composed from 134 wines across 12 different vintages, it captures both the house’s unmistakable style and the timeless prestige that has made Krug one of Champagne’s most admired names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shines with a luminous golden hue and an elegant stream of persistent, fine bubbles. The nose is remarkably layered, unfolding with ripe orchard and citrus fruits, honey, nuts, white flowers, and delicate spice, all carried by a sense of richness and precision. The palate is full and beautifully balanced, with Krug’s hallmark combination of freshness and texture. Notes of toasted bread, almond, and brioche add complexity to the vibrant fruit profile, leading to a long, refined finish with excellent aging potential. This is a Champagne that will continue to develop beautifully over time, gaining even more nuance and savory depth.

Production
Sourced from a meticulous selection of 134 wines from 12 vintages, with the oldest dating back to 1990 and the youngest to 2005, this cuvée reflects the complexity and ambition behind Krug’s blending philosophy. The blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier is assembled to create harmony, depth, and enduring character, then matured carefully on the bottle to build its signature texture and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This is an exceptional Champagne for refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, truffle risotto, roast chicken, or aged hard cheeses, and it also shines beautifully on its own. Serve chilled at around 9–11°C, and while decanting is not necessary, a few minutes in the glass will help its layered aromas fully open.
