    • Sensations It has an intense golden yellow colour. The nose offers expressive aromas of toasted bread and brioche, stone fruit, verbena, vanilla custard, French toast and rum baba. The palate reveals hints of juicy fruit, peaches in syrup and ripe citrus, giving way to warm, toasted and pine nut notes. The finish is generous with a crisp, lingering hint of lemon.

This cuvée has spent at least seven years in the Krug cellars, giving Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition its distinctive expression and elegance.

    Champagne Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Edition
    • In 1843, Joseph Krug dreamed of a Champagne that would transcend the vintage, offering the same generous perfection every year. That dream lives on today in Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition, the result of a masterful blend of 150 wines from 13 vintages, from 2001 to 2017. Despite a challenging harvest, the House was able to make the most of the climate and complete the work with iconic reserve wines. After seven years of patient ageing, a cuvée of rare depth is born: aromas of brioche, verbena and rum baba meet ripe fruit and pine nuts, with a long, citrus finish. More than a Champagne, it is a symphony of time, terroir and talent, capable of enhancing every moment, from aperitif to haute cuisine.

      There is Champagne... And then there is Krug. It was 1834 when the young Joseph Krug arrived in France to work in the Jacquesson cellars. Less than ten years later, in 1843, he founded his own Maison with a clear goal: to produce Champagne that would stand out not only for its quality but also for its well-defined and recognisable personality. Regardless of the vintage. Because for “Monsieur” Krug, there was no reason not to produce a great Champagne every year. The secret was simply to have a large quantity of reserve wines, which were blended with skill and expertise to obtain, year after year, the best Champagne imaginable. Regardless of climatic differences. This is how the “Editions” are created, from over 250 different vineyards and often over 150 reserve wines, some of which are over 15 years old. Since 1999, Krug has also been part of the LVMH group.
