Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition was composed around the
harvest of 2013, a year that beautifully expressed the unique
characters of some of the House’s iconic plots.
▪ The season began with a seemingly endless winter followed by a
rainy and cool spring. Luckily, summer was hot and sunny, although
also marked by hailstorms, which took their toll in the vineyards. The
wines of the year were generous, expressive and full of flavours.
▪ To create this Édition, the Cellar Master looked to accentuate the
year’s fullness and beautiful aromatic elegance with different plots’
wines from almost every year of the first decade of the millennium.
▪ In all, reserve wines from the House’s extensive library made up 40%
of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to
each Édition of Krug Grande Cuvée.
