Tasting Notes & Experience

A luminous golden hue with fine, energetic bubbles. Aromas unfold in layers—blossom, candied citrus, ripe and dried stone fruits, marzipan and gingerbread. The palate is intricate and textural, revealing toasted brioche, hazelnut, lemon zest, quince and almond, carried by a silky mousse and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Craftsmanship & Story

Since 1843, the House of Krug has honoured founder Joseph Krug’s vision: to create the very best Champagne every year, unhindered by climate. Base wines from individual plots are fermented in small oak barrels to capture character and nuance. The 171st Edition blends 131 wines from 12 years—2015 back to 2000—with 42% reserve wines bringing depth, roundness and extraordinary complexity.

Special Features

A multi-vintage masterpiece crafted from over a decade of meticulous blending. Extended ageing, small-batch fermentations and Krug’s legendary library of reserve wines create unmatched richness, tension and aromatic breadth—an expression of Champagne artistry impossible from a single harvest.
