Every year since 1843, Krug has recreated its Grande Cuvée: over 120 wines, spanning more than ten vintages, seven years in the cellar, and an ‘Edition’ number indicating how many times Joseph Krug’s dream has been realised anew. What the Editions 169 to 173 signify, how to read the Krug ID, and where the Rosé, the Vintages and the Clos du Mesnil fit in — with current prices.
