Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is the latest masterstroke in a lineage that founded the modern prestige multi-vintage category. Since 1843, the House of Krug has pursued a singular, uncompromising vision: to produce the most generous expression of Champagne every year, regardless of climate variation. The 172ème Édition is built around the 2016 harvest, meticulously layered with 42% reserve wines to achieve a structural elegance and saline precision that only Krug’s legendary 205-liter oak-barrel vinification can provide.

Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is a high-conviction acquisition for the world's most elite cellars. As collectors increasingly vertical-track the numbered Éditions, the 172ème stands out for its structural precision and its relationship to the acclaimed 2016 harvest. It possesses the structural integrity to evolve gracefully through 2040 and beyond. Every bottle offered here is verified for pristine label and seal integrity and includes the original Krug presentation packaging. Provenance is strictly authenticated to ensure investment-grade reliability.

To honor the profound textural integration and allow the hazelnut and marzipan aromatics to bloom, serve at 47–50°F. For the most generous expression, use a wide Champagne tulip or a Burgundy glass—Krug specifically recommends avoiding narrow flutes. This cuvée is a peerless partner for the most decadent cuisines: caviar, white truffle preparations, aged Comté, or lobster thermidor. The 172ème is ready for immediate enjoyment but will reward patient cellaring.
