Krug Grande Cuvée 173rd Edition is a multi-vintage Champagne and a blend of 150 outstanding individual wines from more 13 different years. The 173rd Edition is the most generous expression of Champagne and offers a fullness of flavours and aromas that are not possible to achieve with the wines of a single year.

The youngest wine in the blend is from the year 2017, and the oldest dates back to 2001. The final composition of this champagne is 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 22% Meunier.

"Older wines from the 2000s add a patina of elegance, roundness and generosity to the final blend." Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

Awards & Critic Scores

"95 Points. Based on 2017, Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is superb. It is an especially rich, almost opulent Grande Cuvée that very much reflects the personality of the base year in its tropical flavor profile. Lemon confit, baked apple tart, passion fruit, tangerine oil and spice are all beautifully amplified. The Krug team, led at the time by Chef de Caves Eric Lebel and current Chef de Caves Julie Cavil, did an exceptional job here." - Antonio Galloni

Grape & Harvest

Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The Grande Cuvée 173rd Edition is intense yellow gold in colour. The nose is expressive, fragrant and powerful with aromas of brioche toast, stone fruit, vanilla pastry cream and French toast. The palate is generous and creamy, expressing flavours that are aligned with the nose. Nuances of juicy fruits, syrup peaches and ripe citrus give way to encaustic toasted notes with pine nut. The Champagne offers a crisp and generous mouthfeel, with a mouthwatering lemon finish.

Food Suggestions

With outstanding freshness and generosity, Krug Grande Cuvée 173rd Edition lends itself to a wealth of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, with aperitifs or meals. It would pair perfectly with aged parmesan, Jabugo ham and mature comté, but also oysters or roasted asparagus. Gastronomic pairings include Moroccan hake chermoula or tarte tatin.
