172ème Edition 🍾🥂 Based on the 2016 harvest (58%) with blend of 146 different wines pulled from 11 distinct vintages going back to 1998. Final grape composition is 44% PN, 36% Chardy and 20% PM. Dry crisp attack. Then a wonderful creaminess hits with great complexity. Autolytic notes, yeast, dried tree fruits, flint minerals. Oozing grace and elegance.

96/100. 173ieme. Fresher than the older editions I’ve tried. Peach, apple, lemon, marzipan, and flower. Excellent acidity and linearity and a lingering finish. This will definitely be better with some age.

#11302 - even the white Krug bubbles haven’t made it to top 3 🫪! GC series 3 / maroon-gold, base wines 1990, reserve back to 1978 - rare early edition. Magnum and normal bottle. Extremely fine perlage (tastes almost like white wine), finest acidity, elegant character, creamy and complex. Pleasantly balsamic. Magnum shows beautiful freshness. Yeast, brioche, oak, bruised apple, mint, nutty aromas. Aristocratic and elegant nose. Beautiful!

Krug always feels like a homecoming. Familiar, comforting and yet endlessly complete, this 172ème Edition delivered its usual layered interplay of brioche, citrus oil, toasted hazelnut and chalk. Broad and vinous on the palate with ultra-fine mousse, but freshness and precision remain impeccable. One of those wines that reminds you why benchmarks become benchmarks. Effortless, composed and deeply satisfying as always. Opened by @[1|31732413|Brown Cony] thanks 🙏👍

Yes!!!!!! Finally was able to try Krug. Golden, golden in glass. Nose of bread dough, pizza dough, sourdough, big time. Palate is incredible, ample, expansive, super bone dry and wine an endless finish. Immersive. Damn this was gold. And guess what? The other guests were not into champs so my wife and I drank the entire bottle 😍😍😍 Lucky night !

Celebrating as we move into our new home. No better way than cracking a Krug. Sitting in the setting sun looking out over the Heretaunga plains in the Hawkes Bay, it's just magic! What a wine. Very fine peraling, and a great blend of flavours of brioche, citrus and toffee apple. A creamy finish with nutty notes. Just amazing.

I'm back from my vivino break after the birth of my little daughter ❤️. That calls for celebration with Krug champagne. Utmost elegance appears on the nose. On the palate, the fine perlage dances gracefully, enriched by subtle yeast/brioche notes. Perfect balance and a refined acidity unveil impressive complexity with hints of toast, butter, lemon, apple, vanilla, and a touch of smoke. A creamy texture envelops the mouth, leading to a long, elegant finish. A sparkling wine made for celebrating life's finest moments

Dinner at @Tom N. and his wife. A true showstopper, beats Dompi every time imo. We had it blind, and it needed a little time in the glass to open up. Krug came to mind eventually, though I never would’ve guessed Tom had this gem in his cellar! Edition 172, based on the 2016 harvest, is simply magnificent: layers of hazelnut, brioche, citrus zest, and honey with a creamy texture and endless length. The finesse and complexity are breathtaking, pure class in a glass.

The WOTN of the Champagne dinner! Not just a Krug, a 135st edition, my oldest yet. Actually one of my oldest champagnes! Based on 1979, disgorged in 1986 😳! Was it still good? Oh yes! ☺️ Seductive, floral nose with ripe peach, apricot, overripe lemon, caramelized apple including the peel, herbal notes and salinity followed by a beautifully fruity, intense palate with absolutely perfect acidity, white peach, overripe lemon & grapefruit, dried orange, dried fig & plum and very long, creamy finish.

In line ;-) Excellence. Not much to add to previous ratings. This time, however, doubling the length of the excellence, in magnum bottle.

Edition 172. A bit closed in the beginning. Opens up with the characteristic Krug palette with nutty and baked lemon. Super long mouthfeel.

Outrageous indulgence to sip slowly over 90mins whilst flying over N Spain en route to Gredos for #BoT24 164eme regarded by many as the best numbered edition ever. Primary component being 08 🤩 Developed wonderfully. Somehow got more tight and astringent as it opened up. Beautiful cloud of chalk all around it. Pear skin, hazelnut skin, croissant flakes, green pastille. Powerful. Striking. Quintessential Krug contrast + confidence.
