Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne Grande Cuvée 173 Édition Brut

95–97
/100

Krug Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition er sammensat omkring 2017-høsten og er en samling af 150 vine fra 13 forskellige årgange. Den yngste er fra 2017, den ældste fra 2001. 2017 var en udfordrende årgang i Champagne med frost i foråret og derefter en kamp om modenhed i efteråret. Men takket være det store lager af fremragende reservevine påvirker det ikke rigtig Krug. Snarere giver årgangen 173-udgaven en lækker tilgængelighed og en forbløffende mængde krop og delikat, rund stenfrugt for denne køligere årgang. Abrikos og fersken med frisk vanilje, ristet brød og saltet karamel, også lidt litchi på toppen. Meget lige og alligevel cremet-fint mundindtag, som er noget rundere og mere charmerende end den 2016-baserede udgave. En elegant og fantastisk afbalanceret Grande Cuvée.

Parker om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 173 Édition Brut

Revisiting Krug’s NV Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition, it continues to evolve at a glacial pace. As I’ve written before, the base of this edition is the 2017 harvest, which makes up 69% of the blend, and the wine was disgorged in early 2024 with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter. It opens in the glass with aromas of lemon confit, pear and golden apple mingled with notes of freshly baked bread, buttered toast and a hint of nutmeg. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with a slightly darker-fruited profile than the 174ème Édition, underpinned by racy acids and animated by a pillowy mousse, before concluding with a long, citrus-inflected finish. It is already offering very attractive drinking.

Suckling om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 173 Édition Brut

Extremely complex, showing dried apples, light caramel, brioche and flint with cedar, nuts and hints of gunmetal. Integrated, caressing bubbles. Medium-bodied with a laser-guided, compacted and extremely long palate that focuses the character and the flavors. So deep and polished. Tangy at the end. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 173 Édition Brut

Vibrant and rich, statuesque yet graceful, this lovely Champagne offers an expansive range of patisserie apple and pear fruit, grilled macadamia nut, lime and tangerine peel notes, with fragrant saffron, clove, espresso and mineral accents. A lithe, focused spine of lemony acidity and an underlying streak of salinity are enmeshed in the flavor profile, and the fine, satinlike mousse carries everything on the long, mouthwatering finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier. Disgorged winter 2023–2024 (Krug ID 124003). Drink now through 2040.

Galloni om: Champagne Grande Cuvée 173 Édition Brut

Based on 2017, Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 173ème Edition is superb. It is an especially rich, almost opulent Grande Cuvée that very much reflects the personality of the base year in its tropical flavor profile. Lemon confit, baked apple tart, passion fruit, tangerine oil and spice are all beautifully amplified. The Krug team, led at the time by Chef de Caves Eric Lebel and current Chef de Caves Julie Cavil, did an exceptional job here.
