Blend and Origin
This blend of 52% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and 13% meunier comprises 198 wines (42% reserve) from 11 different years, the youngest from 2012 and the oldest from 1996. The 2012 vintage survived frost, rain, hail and a dry ripening season, with the resulting wines round and elegant. Around seven years in Krug’s cellars helps the final blend reveal its distinct expression.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
