Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition Giftbox

Presented in its original giftbox, Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition showcases the house’s ambition to create its most generous expression of Champagne each year, whatever the vintage brings. Built around the 2017 harvest, it brings together wines from 13 vintages in a layered, elegant blend—a philosophy that has distinguished Krug since the house was founded in 1843.

Tasting Notes
Its intense golden-yellow colour leads into aromas of brioche, stone fruit, vanilla and toasted bread. The palate is rich and creamy, with peach in syrup, ripe citrus and pine nut, balanced by lively citrus acidity and a long, refined finish. Enjoy it now for its generous, developed character, or cellar it further to allow its layers to evolve.

Production
The blend combines 150 wines from 13 vintages, spanning 2001 to 2017, and is composed of 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 22% Meunier. Reserve wines from Krug’s library make up 31% of the blend, contributing depth and structure. With a dosage of 4 g/L, the Champagne rested for at least seven years in Krug’s cellars before disgorgement. Specific vineyard and harvesting details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Its richness and bright citrus finish make it a versatile match for roast poultry, lobster, scallops or aged hard cheeses. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C; a few minutes in the glass can reveal its aromas, while decanting is optional and best reserved for allowing the Champagne to open gently before serving.

Producer
Founded in Reims in 1843, Champagne Krug is known for its distinctive approach to blending, using reserve wines and multiple vintages to create a consistent house style with depth and complexity. Grande Cuvée is the clearest expression of that philosophy, with each edition composed as a unique blend rather than a vintage Champagne.
