Krug Grande Cuvée 172nd Edition is the prestige non-vintage Brut from the House of Krug in Champagne, assembled from a blend of more than 120 wines spanning more than a decade. Each Edition of Grande Cuvée is numbered to mark the specific harvest and blend behind it, allowing collectors to follow the house style year by year. This bottle comes presented in a gift box.
In the glass it shows a light golden hue with fine, lively bubbles. The nose opens with blooming flowers, ripe and dried fruits and zesty citrus, layered with marzipan, gingerbread and toasted brioche. The palate is rich yet refined, with almond paste, quince, lemon and dried fruit carried by bright freshness into a long, nutty finish.
A benchmark for multi-vintage Champagne, the 172nd Edition rewards a large tulip glass and a slightly warmer serve than most sparkling wines, and it pairs naturally with shellfish, lobster and aged cheeses. Its numbered Edition and gift box make it a natural choice for collectors and milestone celebrations.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is the prestige non-vintage Brut from the House of Krug. It is assembled from more than 120 wines spanning more than a decade and built from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. The 172nd Edition is numbered to mark its specific harvest and blend, which is what makes Grande Cuvée so rewarding for collectors who like to follow the house style year by year. In the glass it pours light gold with fine, lively bubbles. The nose moves from blooming flowers and zesty citrus into marzipan, gingerbread and toasted brioche. The palate is rich but refined, with almond paste, quince, lemon and dried fruit carried by bright freshness into a long, nutty finish. It suits the collector building a run of Editions as much as the host marking a milestone, and it shines at the table with shellfish and aged cheese. We carry it because it shows how much depth a multi-vintage blend can hold, and the gift box makes it ready to give.
Pairs well with
- Lobster with lemon-butter sauce — The Champagne's lemon and limoncello brightness cuts through the butter while its almond-paste richness matches the sweetness of the lobster.
- Aged Comté or Parmesan — The long, nutty finish and grilled almond notes echo the savory, nutty depth of well-aged hard cheeses.
- Milestone anniversary or birthday — A numbered Edition with florals, dried fruit and marzipan layers gives a special occasion a bottle worth lingering over.
