About this vintage

Krug Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition is a cuvée composed around the 2015 harvest, a year marked by unprecedented heat and drought that lasted from the end of May to mid-August, slowing the development of the grapes. Fortunately, the rains and reasonable temperatures of the second half of August allowed the fruits to develop in good conditions. The harvest took place in the rain between August 31 and September 21, with great heterogeneity from one plot to another.
