{"product_id":"nv-krug-grande-cuvee-172eme-edition","title":"Krug Champagne Grande Cuvee 172nd Edition NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new Krug release, the NV Grande Cuve 172me dition, based on the 2016 vintage and comprising 11 vintages in total (the oldest is 1998), is outstanding. It reveals a complex, slightly spicy bouquet of white fruits, beeswax, marzipan, hazelnuts, dried herbs, ripe orchard fruits and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated on the palate, it has a subtly spicy entry, an enrobing and layered texture and a fleshy core of fruit framed around a perfectly balanced, fresh and mineral finish. Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir (44%) and complemented with 30% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Meunier, it was disgorged in the first quarter of 2023 with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter. Keep it for 5-10 years.  Wine Advocate 95\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NV Grande Cuve 172me dition is a gracious, sublime Champagne. Light citrus notes, white, flowers, spice, marzipan and chamomile inflections all run through this delicate, nuanced Grande Cuve. The 172eme is a Champagne of understatement and class that is very much a reflection of the base year. Brisk acids pull it all together. The Grande Cuve is often quite accessible on release, but this is an Edition I would cellar for at least another year or two. It's a fine effort from Krug. The 172me dition is a blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier based on 2016 with reserve wines back to 1998. Disgorged: Winter 2022-2023.
