Krug's own vineyards provide around 20% of the House's grape needs. Beyond this, Krug relies on more than 100 "plot by plot" grower contracts contributing to the unique generosity of Krug Champagnes.
Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2015, a year marked by unprecedented heat and drought that prevailed from the end of May to mid-August, slowing grape development. Fortunately, rains and reasonable temperatures in the second half of August allowed the berries to grow inoptimal conditions. The harvest took place under the rain between August 31 and September 21, with great heterogeneity from plot to plot.
It is a blend of 131 wines from 12 different years, the youngest of which is from 2015, while the oldest datesback to 2000.
Its final composition is 45% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay and 18% Meunier.
