Krug

Grande Cuveé 170ÈME Édition Brut Champagne Blend

9.4

A wonderful pairing for some Christmas caviar! From 375ml.

My local wine group has had a lot of fun/discussion regarding Krug’s Grand Cuvées the last 7-8 releases, as there appears to be a style shift. This 170 (base vintage ‘14) reminds me of what classical Krug GC can be (rich, nougat, ginger) whereas 169 and 171 are very sharp, bright and sport a non-typical Krug profile if referencing Krug of the past (168 does a great job of combining both profiles).

Krug’s 170 has an unusually high (about 45%) use of reserve wines due to the crop of pinot noir in 2014 not being great as well as evidently battling Suzuki flies. Thankfully there was plenty of pinot noir in the reserve wine library at Krug, thus this release shows a classical golden patina in the glass with aromatics of hazelnut, orange and lemon cream pastry. Beautifully rich and balanced on the palate with spiced pear, nougat, espresso, ginger and a hint of oxidation and leesy goodness. Wonderful GC that seems to be drinking perfectly. — 2 years ago

While champagne wishes and caviar dreams is a great pair, Krug has a sweet onion dip on their site you should try with a thick, deep ridge chip. My friend made it for our champagne tasting. Really good! Cheers! 🥂

Testamatta is always worth buying if you can find it. Absolutely delicious. It's got the finesse of a fine burgundy. Ordered this at Piato Suzuki in Tokyo. — 9 years ago

First experience with Zweigelt. Clean streak of acid and red fruit with some earthy notes on the back end. Needs more time for the acid profile to soften and let the fruit shine through. — 6 years ago
