Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

98
/100

Den bedste Grand Cuvée i Champagne. 170-udgaven er baseret på den store 2014-årgang og indeholder med 45% mere reservevin, end den har gjort længe. 195 partier fra 12 forskellige årgange, lagret på gæren i over 7 år. Andelen af Pinot Meunier er med kun 11 % meget lavere end året før. Sponge fingers, citrontærte med marengs, provencalsk nougat, citronmelisse i næsen og i munden. Altid perfekt afbalanceret, kraftfuld, dyb og uendeligt elegant og poleret. En himmelsk fornøjelse. 98/100

Suckling om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

Wonderful precision and depth right away on the nose, with dried pineapple, light apricot and hints of flint and slate. Medium-bodied palate that’s firm, bright and linear. Vivid,driven acidity adds focus and perfection. Dried lemon and a wonderful, creamy texture with a mineral undertone. Extremely long, almost endless. Sophistication here. Drink or hold. 96/100

Tim Atkin om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

2014 base. 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay, 11% Pinot Meunier. A strong release showingpurity and vibrancy. Opening with sea spray freshness, under which persistent, subtle fruitspush through with persistence and length; preserved citrus and roasted yellow fruits, ripefleshy breadfruit and apricot, finally fine citrus-syrup Chardonnay. The developed richness isthere, sourdough, walnuts in honey and cocoa, but it is still in the starting blocks. A very finerelease, up there with the best of the last decade. 96/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

The numbering indicates this is the 170th blending of this Champagne. This iteration has a fine poise—it’s mature and toasty on the one hand and offers rich fruit on the other. It is a finely balanced wine that is ripe and full in the mouth. Drink this beautiful wine now. 96/100

Galloni om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

The NV Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition, (2014 base vintage) is rich, ample and explosive. Wonderfully fresh and vibrant, the 170 offers an exotic mélange of dried orchard fruit, pear, spice and crushed flowers. Chef de Caves Eric Lebel was not especially excited about 2014 when I saw him a few months after the harvest, as yields in Pinot Noir and Meunier were adversely affected. Perhaps for that reason the 170 contains more reserve wines than most editions. Regardless, the Krug team crafted an absolutely brilliant Grande Cuvée. The blend is 51% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay and 11% Meunier, vintages 2014 through 1998. Disgorged: Autumn 2021. Krug ID: 421062. 96/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

From vintages spanning from 1998 to 2014, the NV Champagne 170th Edition is decadent and nuanced, with a rounded perfume of toasted brioche, lemon curd, and honeydew melon. Ripe yellow orchard fruits fill the palate with nectarine, fresh grapefruit pith, and a core of acidity. This is showing wonderfully now, although it still has the tension to go for the next 20 years. 95+/100

Parker om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 170 Édition Brut

Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition is based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by some 45% reserve wines dating back to 1998, with the house drawing on, among many others, 2013 for structure and 2012 and 2003 for generosity. Opening in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, dried fruits, pear, warm spices, freshly baked bread and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and fine-boned, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a precise, chiseled profile. But if the latter adjective could be applied to the 2013-base 169ème édition equally felicitously, the 2014-base 170ème is more giving and less tightly wound out of the gates and will offer more demonstrative drinking young. 95/100
