Based on the celebrated 2008 harvest, it brings together reserve wines dating back to 1990—a reflection of Joseph Krug’s ambition, since the house’s founding in 1843, to create the finest Champagne possible every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA luminous pale-gold colour and fine, lively bubbles introduce aromas of flowers, ripe and dried citrus, marzipan and gingerbread.

Krug Grande Cuvée spends around seven years ageing in the house’s cellars; the source information does not specify vineyard sites, harvesting methods or vinification details.

Decanting is not essential, but a brief rest in a cool decanter may help reveal its aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, Champagne Krug is known for Grande Cuvée, a Champagne re-created each year rather than tied to a single vintage. Its numbered editions reflect this ongoing blending tradition, combining wines from multiple harvests to build depth and consistency. The 164ème Édition honours the house’s original vision of making an exceptional Champagne regardless of variations in the year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Krug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255044264273,"sku":"FW-1714","price":535.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/produkt-grid_288.png?v=1783456105","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/krug-grande-cuvee-164eme-edition-giftbox","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
