2017 base-vintage, no gift box
Buttery, broad and powerful. Linear on the palate, ripe and already complex at this early stage in its evolution. Lots of reserve wine here, 2001 to 2017. (JH 04/06/2025)

Based on 2017, Krug`s NV Grande Cuvee 173eme Edition is superb. It is an especially rich, almost opulent Grande Cuvee 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. Krug ID: 124003. 95 points
