Krug Grande Cuvee # 164 NV

Krug Grande Cuvée is one of Champagne’s most prestigious multi-vintage blends, created to deliver the richness and precision that define the House style year after year. This 164th Edition (NV) combines complexity, elegance, and remarkable depth, making it a benchmark for non-vintage Champagne. Built around the 2009 harvest, it reflects Krug’s long tradition of elevating reserve wines into something truly distinctive.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a very fine, persistent mousse, this Champagne opens with an expressive bouquet of warm brioche, honey cake, peach-tinged fruit, smoke, and lemon oil. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, layered, and seamlessly integrated, with excellent depth at the core and a long, chalky finish. What stands out most is its balance: it has the generous, vinous character Krug is known for, but also a sense of finesse and harmony that makes it especially captivating now. While it can be enjoyed today for its energy and complexity, it also has the structure to develop beautifully over time.

Production
Krug Grande Cuvée is assembled from a wide selection of wines sourced from different years and parcels across Champagne, allowing the House to create a consistent style with extraordinary complexity. The 164th Edition is anchored by the 2009 vintage and complemented by reserve wines that add depth, nuance, and aromatic detail. The exact composition is kept closely guarded, but the result is a Champagne built on meticulous blending, extended cellar aging, and Krug’s signature focus on individuality within harmony.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed slightly chilled at around 9–12°C, this Champagne is ideal with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast chicken with truffle, creamy risotto, or aged hard cheeses. It also works beautifully with simple accompaniments like buttery pastries or toasted brioche. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a little time in the glass can help the bouquet unfold more fully.
