Krug Grand Cuvee now displays the edition number. 154th Edition was the first release showing this, with Edition 1 having started in 1843.
Producer tasting notes: "A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. Flavours of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey." - Krug

Krug Grande Cuvée 167ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2011, an atypical year divided into two parts. High temperatures up until the beginning of May resulted in blossoms three weeks early, followed by cold, wet weather with low sun. The concern was that grapes might be overly mature but a three-day heat wave stopped the maturation, while subsequent rains refreshed them. The year’s unusual weather made it the second earliest harvest since 1822. In the end, the grapes were healthy and of surprising structure. It was a year for beautifully balanced Pinot Noir.
