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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e95 Vinous - Based on 2017, Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 173ème Édition 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eBase Vintage: 2017 (making up 69% of the blend).\u003cbr\u003eComposition: A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier with 31% reserve wines.\u003cbr\u003eTasting Profile: Expressive and powerful with notes of toast, brioche, stone fruit, and vanilla.
