37% Pinot Noir/32% Pinot Noir/31% Pinot Meunier
2007 base vintage
Deep, weighty, nutty, with all the brioche character one would expect of Krug. Very composed and complete on the palate, generous but lifted. Icing sugar on the finish, dances to conclusion. Unusual for it to be nearly equal parts of each grape variety, but since everything at Krug is done according to blind tasting by a panel of 6, Meunier from 2007 must have shown particularly well when they were working on the blend.

William Kelley
A complex bouquet of iodine, mandarin, warm biscuits, dried flowers, citrus oil and anise introduces the NV Grande Cuvee 163eme Edition, a wine that`s built around the 2007 vintage and is beginning to display some very attractive evolution. On the palate, it`s medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a ripe but racy spine of acidity, chalky structure and a long, penetrating finish. 94 points
