New Krug Grande Cuvee Arrivals: 167eme, 168eme & 170eme Editions
🍾Krug最核心，就係Joseph Krug當初嘅夢想：無論每季有幾大挑戰，都要每年釀造出最好嘅香檳。Krug Grande Cuvee從來都唔係簡單嘅非年份香檳🤓。每個Edition都係精湛嘅多年份混釀，通常用超過190種嚟自十幾個不同年份嘅酒，創造出單一年份永遠無法達到嘅非凡和諧、深度同豐滿度。
😚我哋剛剛新到咗三款佢哋嘅香檳。
167eme Edition（基酒2011年）集合咗嚟自13個不同年份嘅191種酒，當中42%係珍藏酒，最老嘅追溯到1995年。2011年份雖然天氣變化好大，但釀出平衡、香氣豐富、結構驚人嘅黑皮諾。酒體飽滿，帶有黃蘋果、桃、烤麵包同核桃嘅香調。有力又有深度。
168eme Edition（基酒2012年）尤其突出。以2012年呢個世紀級優秀年份做基礎💛，佢結合咗嚟自11個年份嘅198種酒，包括好經典嘅1996年珍藏酒。當中52%係黑皮諾，感覺充滿活力同集中度：有乾果、梨、烤堅果、蜂蜜同麵包嘅香氣。比167版更開放同濃郁，餘韻長、精準又華麗。呢一款係經典之作，現飲已經非常享受，同時有數十年陳年潛力。
170eme Edition（基酒2014年）帶來另一種魅力。用咗嚟自12個年份嘅195種酒（45%珍藏酒，最老嚟自1998年），呈現活潑、纖細優雅嘅風格，帶明亮果香、花香、榛子同蜂蜜牛油麵包味道。相比之前幾款，佢年輕時更加親切易飲，同時保留咗極佳嘅清新度同精準度。呢個混釀突出了充滿活力嘅黑皮諾同特別富有表現力嘅Meunier，質感軟綿，酸度爽脆，令人一飲難忘。
呢三款 Krug Grande Cuvee 各自都好出色🫶，充分反映 Krug 卓越嘅工藝，同只有時間同耐心先可以創造出嘅深度。無論而家飲，定係收藏幾年之後再品，都係完美選擇。
🍾At the heart of Krug is Joseph Krug’s dream: to craft the very best Champagne every year, no matter the challenges of the season. Krug Grande Cuvee is never a simple non-vintage🤓. Each Edition is a masterful multi-vintage blend — often over 190 individual wines from more than ten different years — creating remarkable harmony, depth, and fullness that a single vintage could never achieve.
😚We’ve just welcomed three beautiful champagne arrivals that illustrate this vision.
167eme Edition (base 2011) brings together 191 wines from 13 different years, including 42% reserve wines with the oldest dating back to 1995. The 2011 vintage was highly atypical — marked by dramatic weather shifts — yet it produced beautifully balanced Pinot Noir, with surprising structure and remarkable aromas. It offers a full-bodied, muscular presence with notes of yellow orchard fruits, peach, toasted bread, and walnuts. Incisive yet deep.
168eme Edition (base 2012) particularly stands out. Built on the outstanding 2012 harvest💛—one of the finest this century—it unites 198 wines from 11 vintages, including iconic 1996 reserves. With 52% Pinot Noir, it feels vibrant and concentrated: dried fruits, pear, toasted nuts, honeycomb and bread. More open and intense than the 167ème, it delivers remarkable length, precision and glamour. A classic in the making, it offers immediate pleasure while promising decades of evolution.
170eme Edition (base 2014) brings a different kind of charm. Drawn from 195 wines across 12 vintages (45% reserves, oldest from 1998), it offers lively, fine-boned elegance with bright fruit, floral notes, hazelnut, and honeyed brioche. More giving and approachable in its youth than previous Editions, it retains wonderful freshness and precision. The blend highlights dynamic Pinot Noirs and particularly expressive Meuniers, resulting in a pillowy texture and racy acidity that make it a joy to savor.
Each of these three Krug Grande Cuvee Editions stands proudly on its own🫶, reflecting Krug’s exceptional craftsmanship and the depth that only time and patience can create. Perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for years to come.
Krug Grande Cuvee 167eme Edition Brut NV - Bt | RP95+
HK$2500
Making its debut this year is Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 167ème Édition, a beautiful wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, peach and waxy citrus rind, complemented by complex notes of freshly baked bread, walnuts and smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and muscular but incisive, with a deep and concentrated core, a pinpoint mousse and a long, complex finish. Built around the 2011 vintage, the wine includes reserve wines dating back to 1995 and was disgorged in the winter of 2017-2018. Readers are advised to give it at least a couple years of bottle age before popping corks.

Krug Grande Cuvee 168eme Edition Brut NV - Bt | RP96
HK$2300
Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 168ème Édition is a classic in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of dried fruits, pear, toasted nuts, orange zest, honeycomb and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, generous but incisive, it's deep and elegantly fleshy, with a beautifully refined mousse and an enveloping core of fruit that's complemented by the characteristic Krug patina of nutty complexity imparted by barrel fermentation. Even if this is more open out of the gates than the 2011-based 167ème edition, the 168ème edition is also the more concentrated and intense of the two. It's based on the 2012 harvest, complemented by fully 42% reserve wines—a blend of 198 wines from 11 different vintages dating back to 1996.

Krug Grande Cuvee 170eme Edition Brut NV - Bt | RP95
HK$2100
Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition is based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by some 45% reserve wines dating back to 1998, with the house drawing on, among many others, 2013 for structure and 2012 and 2003 for generosity. Opening in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, dried fruits, pear, warm spices, freshly baked bread and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and fine-boned, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a precise, chiseled profile. But if the latter adjective could be applied to the 2013-base 169ème édition equally felicitously, the 2014-base 170ème is more giving and less tightly wound out of the gates and will offer more demonstrative drinking young.
