JOHN GILMAN 95 POINTS-"It had been a couple of months since I first tasted the “170ème Édition” of Krug Grande
Cuvée at a pre-launch tasting for the bottling back in April. It was young and very promising
then and has nicely settled in and started to blossom aromatically over the summer months. The
wine is from the base year of 2014 and is a blend of fifty-one percent pinot noir, thirty-eight
percent chardonnay and eleven percent pinot meunier, with forty-five percent of the cuvée
composed from reserve wines. The “170ème Édition” of Grande Cuvée is really starting to
become expressive aromatically, offering up scents of apple, pear, passion fruit, brioche, citrus
blossoms, a beautiful foundation of limestone soil tones and patissière. On the palate the wine is
full-bodied, focused and sports superb mid-palate depth of fruit, with fine mineral undertow,
refined mousse and simply marvelous balance and bounce on the very long, complex and still
properly racy finish. 2022-2065+
