Regarding the Champagne Krug Grande Cuvée (173eme Edition)
A true signature of the House of Krug, Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is the most accomplished expression of prestige champagne. It is made from an exceptional blend of 150 wines from 13 different years around the 2017 harvest. It elegantly blends 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 22% Meunier. Each sip embodies over 20 years of savoir-faire and exacting standards.
Its golden color illuminates the glass. The nose seduces with its brioche and toasted aromas, sublimated by notes of ripe fruit and vanilla cream. On the palate, the creamy, generous texture reveals a perfect harmony of juicy fruit, citrus, toasty nuances and a fresh, lemony finish. A controlled dosage underlines its complexity.
Versatile and refined, Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is the perfect accompaniment to an exclusive aperitif, delicate seafood or gourmet dishes such as turbot with truffles. It also goes well with mature cheeses and elegant desserts such as tarte tatin. Served between 9 and 12°C, it reveals all its generosity.
Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is a rare and timeless collector's champagne, to be enjoyed now for its dazzling freshness, or kept for several years to appreciate its evolution.
