impossible to express with the wines of just a single year.
▪ The Édition number identifies a specific creation of
Krug Grande Cuvée. It corresponds to the number of years in the
House of Krug the founder’s dream has been re-created.

Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition its distinct expression and
elegance.

citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and
