Krug has collaborated with over 100 of the world's best chefs to create a cookbook for Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition and Rosé 29ème Édition.
The most generous Champagne – recreated every year
Krug Grande Cuvée is the annual re-creation of Joseph Krug's vision: to produce the best champagne, regardless of the climatic challenges of the year. A true symphony – and the most generous interpretation of Champagne.
Created around fall 2017
The year started cold, but mild spring weather kicked off the wine's development prematurely. The region lost 20% of its fruit due to spring frosts and heavy summer showers. Dry and warm weather saved the remaining grapes, which were harvested from August 25 to September 15 .
The final blend
The difference between the plots in 2017 was evident in the tasting room: fine expressions, but also certain unevenness and rustic character.
Reserve wines add elegance with 2014 and 2011 Chardonnay and liveliness from 2000s Pinot Noir , as well as structure from Montagne de Reims Nord and precision from 2016 Meunier .

Each Krug champagne has its own unique dosage. It is selected through tasting to find the one that must not be missing, but also must not be noticed.
"Older wines from the 2000s add a patina of elegance, roundness and generosity to the final blend."
— Julie Cavil , cellar master at Krug
Taste experience
Color
Intense golden yellow.
Fragrance
Aromas of toasted bread and brioche, stone fruit, verbena, vanilla cream, French toast and baba au rhum.
Taste
Rich notes of juicy fruits – peach in syrup and ripe citrus – glide into waxy, toasted notes and pine nuts. Generous and finished with a crisp, mouthwatering lemon note.

Krug believes that each individual wine in the finished blend in Krug Grande Cuvée is like a single ingredient in itself. 173 Édition pays tribute to the carrot. Here are three dishes out of over 100 dishes, composed by the skilled chefs. The book contains a list of ingredients and a preparation guide for all dishes.

"Each year since the foundation of the house (1843) a new edition of Krug Grande Cuvée has been created, each year the inspiration will be the same, but the creation will be completely unique and different." Olivier Krug
