Krug Grande Cuvee 173eme Edition Brut | Champagne NV Rhone Valley with its aromas of jammy#97 in Top 100 Wines of France, 2025. 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. 97 Pts James Suckling
