About This Champagne
Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is composed around the 2017 harvest and blends 150 wines from 13 years, stretching back to 2001. With 31% reserve wine, a lower share than recent Éditions, the year's own fruit plays a bigger part.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Toast, brioche, stone fruit, verbena and vanilla custard, with a hint of rum baba.
- Palate: Creamy and generous, with peach in syrup, ripe citrus, pine nut and toasted notes.
- Finish: Crisp and mouthwatering, ending on fresh lemon.
Serving & Food
Serve it at 10 to 12°C in a large white wine glass, not a flute.
