New Release - Grande Cuvée Édition 167
We are delighted to offer Krug NV Grande Cuvée 167ème Édition.
This edition now in its third incarnation, is based around and emphasises the lovely 2011 vintage. Krug has then blended 12 other vintages stretching back to 1995 to make this beautiful release.
The 2011 vintage is characterised by warm weather and an early start to the harvest. This is a bold wine that leaps from the glass and whilst it is truly delicious now – it will age gracefully in the cellar for decades.

Krug NV Grande Cuvée 167ème Édition - £675 per six bottles IB.
95+ Points (The Wine Advocate)
Making its debut this year is Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 167ème Édition, a beautiful wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, peach and waxy citrus rind, complemented by complex notes of freshly baked bread, walnuts and smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and muscular but incisive, with a deep and concentrated core, a pinpoint mousse and a long, complex finish. Built around the 2011 vintage, the wine includes reserve wines dating back to 1995 and was disgorged in the winter of 2017-2018. Readers are advised to give it at least a couple years of bottle age before popping corks. 2020 - 2045
