Disgorged June 2017. Has nice brioche and spice notes that interplay with lemon peel, pear and green apple fruit. Palate has a lush quality seems to be from the barrel aging. Superb length and gains complexity as it sees air and warms a touch. — 4 years ago

60 pinot noir/40 chard. Elegant yet powerful. Pretty cherry fruit flavors have a softness that perfectly compliments the citrus acidity. Fruit stays thru the finish. — 6 years ago

Medium lemon gold in appearance with tiny bubbles. Still an absolutely baby, took a couple hours just to open up. Thick nose layered with brioche, lemon zest, acidic Granny Smith apples and some gravel. High mouthwatering acidity (8/10) and full bodied. Quite austere in its youth wanting to come out of its shell. Electrifying on the tongue with layers of citrus zest, white minerality, green apples, a touch of salinity and some yeast. Long and never ending finish. Drink from 2020 till 2045.

This bottling is the 164ème Édition of the Grande Cuvée by Krug which spent at least 8 years aging in the cellars (bottled Summer 2016) and is comprised of a blend of 127 different wines (38% reserve) covering 11 different vintages from 1990 to 2008. The blend is made up of 48% Pinot Noir (some from Montagne de Reims, Verzenay and Ay), 35% Chardonnay (some from Villers-Marmery and Trépail) and 17% Pinot Meunier (some from Sainte-Gemme). — 6 years ago

Dernière journée des vacances.... on célèbre ! Première fois avec cette cuvée. Dégorgée en 2015. Un style qui m'a paru très oxydatif... amplitude en bouche et bulle fine. Tarte aux pommes, zeste d'orange, brioche, pain grillé. Un vin plutôt costaud que sur la finesse mais qui est tres agréable. — 7 years ago

Very nice 100% chardonnnay BdB. Discorged 4/17 thus maybe a bit disjointed still but gets things together and improves with air. 5+ years nice drinking ahead — 6 years ago
