Wine Advocate Review
Rated 95
Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 170eme Edition is based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by some 45% reserve wines dating back to 1998, with the house drawing on, among many others, 2013 for structure and 2012 and 2003 for generosity. Opening in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, dried fruits, pear, warm spices, freshly baked bread and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and fine-boned, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a precise, chiseled profile. But if the latter adjective could be applied to the 2013-base 169ème édition equally felicitously, the 2014-base 170eme is more giving and less tightly wound out of the gates and will offer more demonstrative drinking young. Drink 2021-2041.
Wine Tasting Notes
This is a blend of a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years. The youngest is from the year 2014 and the oldest dates back to 1998. A stay of around seven years in Krug's cellars gives this Edition its remarkable expression and elegance. Every glass poured from it is the fruit of more than 20 years of careful craftsmanship. Its final composition is 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier. A stay of around seven years in Krug's cellars gives Krug Grande Cuvee 170eme Edition its distinct expression and elegance. This champagne is a light golden color and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey.
