Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2016 and assembled from 146 wines from 11 different years, with reserve wines making up 42% of the final blend and giving the wine the breadth and roundness central to Krug’s flagship multi-vintage style.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, with marzipan and gingerbread.
- Palate: Hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey carried by fine, vivacious bubbles.
- Finish: Long, layered and gastronomic, balancing richness with freshness rather than finishing in a narrow aperitif style.
Best For
Prestige Champagne service, gifting, tasting menus and buyers who want Krug’s broad, multi-layered house style rather than a single-vintage wine.
