Origin & history

Created in the tradition established by Joseph Krug, the 173rd edition blends 150 wines dating from 2001 to 2017. Reserve wines contribute thirty-one per cent of the blend. Pinot Noir leads, supported by Chardonnay and Meunier, bringing several harvests together into a single expression of the house's blending philosophy.
