Description
Discover timeless excellence with Krug Grande Cuvée Brut 173ème Édition, a masterpiece of winemaking that redefines the concept of prestige champagne.
Born from Joseph Krug’s vision of offering the finest champagne every year, regardless of climatic variations, this 173rd edition stands as a testament to mastery in the art of blending. Built around the challenging yet rewarding harvest of 2017, this cuvée is enriched with 31% meticulously selected reserve wines, some dating back to 2001. The result is a symphony of flavours and aromas that transcends the notion of vintage.
Each bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée is the result of more than 20 years of patience and craftsmanship. Fermentation in small oak barrels, a signature of the Maison, provides a unique richness and dimension, allowing each plot to express its individual character before the final blend. This absolute dedication to quality ensures that the 173ème Édition delivers a generosity and elegance that no other champagne can match.
