Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition

Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is a superb expression of Krug’s philosophy: to create the most generous Champagne every year, regardless of vintage conditions. Built from a remarkable multi-vintage blend, it delivers the depth, precision, and elegance that have made Krug one of Champagne’s most revered houses.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense golden hue that signals both richness and finesse. The nose is layered and inviting, with aromas of brioche, stone fruit, vanilla, and toasted bread, unfolding with impressive complexity. On the palate, this Champagne is rich and creamy, revealing notes of peach in syrup, ripe citrus, and pine nut. A bright, lively citrus acidity lifts the finish, leaving a long, elegant impression. With its structure and balance, it has excellent aging potential and should continue to gain nuance over time.

Production
Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is built around the 2017 harvest and composed of 150 wines from 13 different vintages, spanning 2001 to 2017. The blend is 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, and 22% Meunier, with 31% reserve wines from Krug’s extensive cellar library adding depth and structure. The wine was matured for at least seven years in Krug’s cellars before disgorgement, with a dosage of 4 g/L.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as oysters, lobster, sashimi, roast poultry, or dishes with truffle and creamy sauces. Serve well chilled at around 9–11°C, and while decanting is not usually necessary, a few minutes in the glass can help it open up and reveal its full aromatic range.
