Krug Grande Cuvée 的誕生，源自 Joseph Krug 的夢想——每一年都釀造出最優質的香檳，不受氣候變化影響。
每年，Krug 酒莊都會以一個全新版本的 Krug Grande Cuvée 來實現這個信念，展現香檳最豐盛的一面。
跳脫年份的框架，Krug Grande Cuvée 以超過 120 款、來自 10 年以上的不同年份葡萄酒混釀而成，呈現出單一年份無法達到的層次與深度。
Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition 以 2016 年的葡萄收成為基礎，融合了來自 11 個年份的 146 款葡萄酒，其中最年輕的是 2016 年，最古老的可追溯至 1998 年，凝聚了超過二十年的匠心工藝。
來自酒莊珍藏酒庫的儲備酒佔整體混釀的 42%，為每個版本的 Krug Grande Cuvée 帶來必要的深度與圓潤感。

Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of Joseph Krug to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every year, regardless of annual variations in climate.
Each year, Maison Krug honours his vision with a new Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée: the most generous expression of Champagne.
Beyond the notion of vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée is always a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years, expressing a fullness of flavours and aromas impossible to achieve with the wines of a single year.
Composed around the harvest of 2016, Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is a blend of 146 wines from 11 different years. The youngest is from the year 2016 and the oldest dates back to 1998.
In all, reserve wines from the Maison’s extensive library make up 42% of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée.
In all, over 20 years of careful craftsmanship were necessary to enjoy Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition.

The new Krug release, the NV Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition, based on the 2016 vintage and comprising 11 vintages in total (the oldest is 1998), is outstanding. It reveals a complex, slightly spicy bouquet of white fruits, beeswax, marzipan, hazelnuts, dried herbs, ripe orchard fruits and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated on the palate, it has a subtly spicy entry, an enrobing and layered texture and a fleshy core of fruit framed around a perfectly balanced, fresh and mineral finish ... it was disgorged in the first quarter of 2023 with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter. Keep it for 5-10 years.
