Krug Grande Cuvee 173ème Édition

Description

Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is the newest prestige cuvée from Maison Krug, one of the most respected Champagne houses in the world, founded in Reims in 1843. This edition represents the most generous expression of the Krug style, composed of around 150 individual wines from 13 different vintages, with the youngest based on the 2017 harvest and the oldest dating back to 2001. Reserve wines from the Krug library contribute depth and harmony across decades of craftsmanship. The blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier delivers remarkable complexity and richness. On the nose, expect expressive aromas of ripe pear, golden apple, lemon curd and delicate white blossoms interwoven with brioche and toasty nuances, plus a hint of nutmeg. The palate is creamy, layered and elegant with juicy fruit flavours, syrupy peach, ripe citrus and a long, lively finish with subtle saline notes. Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is a luxurious demonstration of French Champagne excellence, ideal for celebratory moments or refined culinary pairings.
