Krug Grande Cuvée 173 Edition con cofanetto

Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the House of Krug is considered one of the absolute icons of prestige Champagne. Located in Reims, in the heart of Champagne, the winery has always maintained an artisanal approach, aimed at creating cuvées of exceptional complexity and elegance. The House’s philosophy is founded on the idea that Champagne should be crafted without compromise, striving for excellence each year through meticulous selection of reserve wines and careful winemaking to enhance the unique character of each parcel. Each bottle of Krug is a work of winemaking art, the fruit of tradition, savoir-faire, and a pioneering vision that has made the Krug name synonymous with luxury and perfection.

The Krug Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is the purest expression of the House’s philosophy, created to embody “the most generous Champagne in the world.” This edition features over 120 selected wines from more than 10 different vintages, starting with 2016. The blend includes approximately 44% reserve wines, chosen to enhance the depth and complexity of the aromas. Presented in an elegant presentation case, the Krug Grande Cuvée 172nd Edition represents not only an oenological masterpiece but also a unique sensory experience, designed to celebrate the most important moments.

On the palate, it displays a brilliant golden color with luminous highlights, accompanied by an extremely fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it expresses extraordinary aromatic richness: notes of white flowers, dried fruit, toasted hazelnut, and ripe citrus intertwine with hints of honey, brioche, and delicate spices. On the palate, it stands out for its perfect harmony between freshness and structure: creamy, elegant, and of great depth, with a long and enveloping finish. Its versatility and complexity make it a versatile wine for a wide range of food pairings: ideal with seafood, oysters, and shellfish, it pairs perfectly with refined fish dishes, white meats, and delicate risottos. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and Asian cuisine, always providing a sensory experience of the highest quality.
