Krug does something rarer. The 169ème Édition is a blend of 146 wines from 11 different years, the youngest from 2013 and the oldest reaching all the way back to 2000 – a living library of vintages composed around the acclaimed 2013 harvest. Reserve wines make up 40% of the blend, and it rested about six years on the lees before disgorgement, with a final composition of 43% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 22% Meunier. Poured from magnum – the format collectors prize for its slower, more graceful aging – this is some of the most generous Krug you’ll find anywhere, anytime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it opens with lemon oil and warm brioche, giving way to dried apricot, toasted almond and a whiff of orange marmalade. The palate is precise and energetic, a bright line of citrus and orchard fruit riding over chalky minerality, before a long, faintly saline finish that keeps calling you back. It drinks beautifully now and, by most accounts, has a long life still ahead of it. We have exactly six magnums – no more coming. At $549 against a $860 retail, it's truly a rare chance to bring home one of the most epic Champagnes in its most celebratory size. When these six are gone, they're gone, so act quickly!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"1.5L","offer_id":53251905978665,"sku":"1014667","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/KrugGrandeCuvee_1014667_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1784132118","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/champagne-krug-grande-cuvee-169eme-brut-nv-magnum-1-5l","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
