99 points, James Suckling

The tightness and tension of this is impressive considering the youngest wine from this is 2015 (hot and dry year), with some wines going back to 2000. Ginger and orange zest. Some creme brulee. It's medium-bodied with apple, pie crust and floral character. It's salty and zesty yet, at the same time, complex and gorgeous. Chamomile and other floral teas highlight everything. Turns rich and flavorful at the finish. Terrific release. Really takes off at the end. Drink or hold.

Tasting Profile

  • Body: Full and opulent, with a rich, creamy texture that belies its complexity. The wine possesses a substantial presence on the palate, yet it remains remarkably balanced and refined.
  • Tannins: None
  • Acidity: Vibrant and incisive, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the wine's richness. The acidity is seamlessly integrated, lending the Champagne its characteristic liveliness and length.
  • Sweetness: Dry, with a subtle hint of sweetness emerging from the ripe fruit and brioche-like notes. This touch of sweetness enhances the wine's overall harmony and complexity.

Tasting Notes: The 171th Edition unfolds with an aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits, white flowers, and subtle toasted almond. A core of ripe orchard fruits, including apple and pear, is interwoven with delicate notes of brioche, marzipan, and a hint of ginger. The palate is a tapestry of flavors, with a seamless transition from the initial fruit-driven attack to a complex mid-palate showcasing layers of toast, nuts, and mineral nuances. The finish is long and resonant, with a lingering impression of citrus zest and a subtle saline character.

Discover the Winery: Krug

The house of Krug was established in 1843 from the dream of one man Joseph Krug, to craft the very best Champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate and today is renowned for producing prestige champagnes. With small levels of production, the house is the only firm still producing its wines in small oak casks, the result being wines of unparalleled complexity and intensity. Today the Krug family, representing the 5th and 6th generations, are still involved in the winemaking process, providing a wealth of experience and continuity, essential to Champagne.. Krug Grande Cuvée is re-created every year, beyond the notion of vintage and is always a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years.
