Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition NV Review
If you’re seeking to splurge on Champagne, look no further than Krug’s Grand Cuvée 170 ème Édition, which comprises 195 wines spanning 12 vintages. This decadent wine carries a rich sherry and umami profile, and wonderful fruit character that underscores bright bubbles. Both the nose and palate are defined by essences of candied ginger, toasted nuts, lemon peel, and brioche, delivering delightful balance.
