Tasting Notes
The Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition is rich, layered, and extraordinarily complex, revealing aromas of ripe citrus, yellow apple, pear, toasted brioche, hazelnut, marzipan, honey, and dried flowers with hints of ginger and spice. The palate is powerful yet impeccably balanced, with an ultra-fine mousse carrying flavours of orchard fruit, candied lemon, toasted almond, and pastry cream over a vibrant mineral backbone. Exceptional depth, freshness, and precision culminate in a remarkably long, elegant finish.
