Tasting notes Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 173th

Champagne. 7 año en botella sin degüelle.

Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 173th dazzles with its deep golden-yellow hue that opens up a realm of sensations on the nose. This expressive champagne captivates with aromas of toast and brioche, complemented by notes of stone fruits such as peach, and a hint of verbena and vanilla custard. On the palate, it delivers a sumptuous experience, where the flavours of syrupy peach and ripe citrus intertwine with nuances of toast and pine nuts. The creamy and precise texture culminates in a refreshing lemon finish, inviting one to explore each layer. Its remarkable balance between creaminess, freshness, and aromatic richness makes this gem an outstanding choice for aficionados of well-aged champagne.

About Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 173th

In "Titanic" (1997), the first-class dining room is unforgettable. Immaculate, resplendent… and on each table, among other delicacies, Beluga caviar was offered, a luxury that glistens in miniature on the plates. But caviar is not merely an elegant garnish; it is luxury in its purest form. It originates from sturgeons that rely on capricious rivers and ecosystems that change year after year. Each season, producers battle against nature to deliver the finest caviar possible. For although the sturgeon may resist, excellence does not wait.

The same obsessive spirit of perfection is found in Joseph Krug, the man who dreamed of crafting the finest champagne every year, regardless of the vintage or the whims of the weather. His Krug Grande Cuvée is a blend of over 150 wines from 13 different vintages, aged for more than 7 years in cool, silent underground cellars, where light barely penetrates and time seems to stand still. Each sip is harmony, elegance, and expression, transcending the harvest.

Like the caviar producers, the House of Krug works with what nature provides. From vineyards in Avize, Marmery, and the Montagne de Reims, and an unpredictable continental climate, the harvests vary from plot to plot. The true magic lies in patience and the human eye, as more than 30% of the blend comes from reserve wines. This requires decades of meticulous care to ensure that each edition fulfills its promise of excellence.

Indeed, when we see the diners on Titanic savoring the caviar, we cannot help but imagine a glass of Krug Grande Cuvée beside it. Caviar and champagne complement, reflect, and elevate each other. They are symbols of luxury, patience, and perfection. Each bite and each sip remind us that the true art of pleasure depends as much on nature as on the human care that respects, guides, and perfects it.
